Have a look at Thierry Groensteen's _The System of Comics_. (caveat: I
haven't read it yet but it's been staring back at me from the midden for
months.)
[browsing index] Hey, it even cites Deleuze's _Cinema_ as many times as
McCloud's _Understanding Comics_ (neither of them a quarter as much as
Christian Metz), is that enough to get the juices flowing, Omar? :-)
_La Jetee_ aside, the formal properties of film are as different from
comics as they are similar, so the pertinence of film theory to comics
theory *in detail* may not be as great as one would first assume.
