Talk:Decompression (comics)

Suggestion

This article needs much less of a mainstream American Superhero comics perspective. What needs to be expanded is information on the extensive use of this style in manga, usage by famous alternative American cartoonists, and usage by European and other comics nationalities (like Korea for instance).--65.27.237.248 22:11, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Do other countries even use the term for it, though? I've only seen references to "Decompression" in non-American comics from American sources comparing American plot pacing to manga structure. 66.245.54.128 01:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Is this similar to Story Boarding techniques typically used in animation or am I crazy? 128.113.148.32 21:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is similar to story boarding. Other countries to my knowledge don't use the term for it, but that doesn't mean that it can't be applied to it. I thought the article only focused on mainstream superhero comics, and a perception from that community on decompression (for instance citing Akira as being the one that started it, when if you do research on manga decompression has been a common technique since the 1950s).--Neilworms 18:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Illustration by Karen Ellis

The concept of decompression is illustrated by Karen Ellis in her diary comics Planet Karen. Include as link?

The definition of compression makes no sense. Perhaps an example like the one for decompression is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.254.97.93 (talk) 02:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Citations

This article needs some authoritative references comparing American comic book use of decompression to the film techniques and international storytelling techniques from which it derives. Referencing articles by comic book fans is not approproate for an encyclopedia like Wikipedia. Perhaps someone with a film school background could cite some textbooks or academic articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.188.30 (talk) 23:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Some useful information here but it needs to be dealt with in a more methodical fashion with subheadings for origins, criticisms and so on. It could also use some references (who has criticised decompression?) Iron Ghost 19:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
