Scott McCloud does brilliant comics-on-comics. Our family has "Understanding Comics," which I've reread, and was used as a textbook.

Much better than understanding comics imo. A good look into art, comic, and storytelling in general. I went through a comic phase when I was kid when I first read this, but I have found it valuable in writing, speaking, and acting. McCloud does a great job of distilling important lessons into easy to understand and fun to read examples.
