For my presentation I am doing a study about the use of text and image in comic books. I came across a very interesting book by Scott McCloud, called "Understanding Comics".The book features various aspects of comic books studied in detail but illustrated and explained like a comic script.
Scott explains how if symbols or things like symbols (groovy lines etc) which our mind relates to are drawn with precision, words might not have to be used in comic books at all.
He explains that when drawn appropriately our mind derives the right conclusion from a set of images without the need of referring to words.
It is also a commonly known fact that most regular comic book readers do not need text to understand the comic once they grasp hold of the character and tone of the novel.
I think that this information can be used in presentations and advertisements to a large extent, rather than just comic books, and I think it is used. But, we just view it differently or call it attention to detail.
