The Arrival By SHAUN TAN
How the comic can tell a story without using words. I think one of many things that the Shaun Tan's the arrival did right was the consecutive pleasing compositions in each of its panels. Great compositions and pace I feel might be the most important thing about comics without text or dialogue.
I feel this way because without the context of words to ground the images the artist has a more thoughtful approach and variation to keep the viewer interested.
Along with the visual interest amped up, I think it takes an very personal route by not having dialogue , it makes whats happening more impactful by because you know no one is coming to interrupt with words, each action and movement produces immense impact .
It gives you so much to interpret for yourself and how you think about the subject. A picture is capable of saying a lot more than words I don't think they're is anything wrong dialogue free comics a good artist if skilled enough can enchant and surprise or even disturb the reader better than a sound they cant really interpret on the same page, and never are there words to narrow the focus down to one particular meaning.
