網(wǎng)絡(luò)上流行著一句話叫“有圖有真相”,文字不能使得觀者信服,借助視覺的“圖片”可以使觀者得到豐富的表述,從而獲得真實感。而“圖文并茂”則是一本好書的重要衡量標準。由出版商SmarterComics最新發(fā)行的漫畫書,用易于理解的圖片形式把相同的信息展示了出來,成為教科書和連環(huán)畫的結(jié)合體。

You probably have heard ofcomicbook heroes like Superman,Batman and Spiderman.But what about Tom the motorcycle shop owner,Joe Knight and Karen Berman?
Tom,Joe and Karen all appear in a comic book calledFinancialIntelligence.ButMr Knight and Ms Berman are real people.In 2006,they wrote a book calledFinancial Intelligence:A Manager's Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean.It was written for people who need to learn quickly about accounting.The book explains, in simple ways,oftencomplexmethods of keepingfinancialinformation.It became a best-seller.
In 2008,publisher SmarterComicsreleaseda comic book that provides the same information in easy-to-understand picture form.The new book is a combination of a textbook and agraphicnovel.It tells the story of Tom,amechanicwho must quickly learn how to direct the motorcycle repair shop his father founded.Tom has no experience with finance,and is struggling with the business.Joe Knight and Karen Berman help him.Artist Dave Wachter madeillustrationsfor the comic book.Franco Arda is the founder and head of SmarterComics.He formerly worked as an investment banker.He started the company almost three years ago with his own money.He wanted to create educational comics that increase understanding.
Franco Arda: “I think almost everybody understands the phrase that‘a(chǎn) picture says a thousand words', so, I mean, mentally,probably ninety percent of us grew up with comics and they understand that comics or illustrations help learning a concept much quicker than just text alone.”
Franco Arda saysFinancial Intelligencewill help readers quickly understand many of the major areas of accounting.
Franco Arda: “Within an hour, you kind of get the idea of accounting,very quickly and not in a boring way.So you get these illustrations;you get the basics of accounting and you get some balance sheets and cash-flow statements.”
The new comic book is available inpaperback.There will also be versions for iPad and iPhone users.The websiteEntrepreneur.comnamed SmarterComics to its list of 100 Brilliant Companies of 2012.The company has created comic book versions of more than ten other books.These includeThink And Grow Richby Napoleon Hill,The Princeby Niccolo Machiavelli andThe Art of Warby Sun Tzu.Later this year,SmarterComics plans to release a comic book by rapper 50cents.
你可能已經(jīng)聽說過超人、蝙蝠俠和蜘蛛俠等漫畫上的英雄人物,但聽說過摩托車店老板湯姆,以及喬·奈特和卡倫·伯曼嗎?
湯姆、喬·奈特和卡倫·伯曼全都是一本名為《財務(wù)智慧》的漫畫上的人物。但奈特先生以及伯曼女士是生活中實際存在的人物。2006年,他們寫了一本名為《財務(wù)智慧:如何理解數(shù)字的真正含義》的書。這本書是為那些必須快速了解財務(wù)的人準備的。它通俗易懂地解釋了通常非常復雜的管理財務(wù)信息的方式。也因此成為一本暢銷書。
2008年出版商SmarterComics發(fā)行了一本漫畫書,它用易于理解的圖片形式把相同的信息展示了出來。這本新書是教科書和連環(huán)畫的結(jié)合體。它講述了一個名為湯姆,需要快速學會如何掌管父親創(chuàng)辦的摩托車修理店的技工的故事。湯姆完全沒有財務(wù)經(jīng)驗,正對此疲于應(yīng)對。奈特和伯曼幫助了他。畫家戴夫·瓦赫特為這本連環(huán)畫繪制了插圖。佛朗哥·阿爾達是SmarterComics出版社的創(chuàng)始人兼負責人。他曾干過投資銀行家。差不多三年前,他用自己的資金開辦了這家公司。他希望創(chuàng)作出能夠增進理解的教育類漫畫。
阿爾達:“我認為幾乎每個人都明白這句格言,‘一圖勝千言’。所以我的意思是說,可能我們中90%的人是漫畫陪著長大的。和單純文字相比,我們能更快地領(lǐng)會這些幫助理解概念的漫畫或插圖?!?/p>
阿爾達說《財務(wù)智慧》這本書有助于讀者快速了解財務(wù)的很多重要領(lǐng)域。
阿爾達:“不到一個小時,你就能很快理解財務(wù)的概念,而且還不至于無聊。你看懂了這些插圖,就理解了財務(wù)的基本知識,就理解了資產(chǎn)負債表和現(xiàn)金流量表?!?/p>
這本新漫畫書有紙質(zhì)版本。還有供iPad和iPhone用戶使用的電子版。Entrepreneur.com網(wǎng)站將SmarterComics出版社列入了2012年100家杰出公司的名單。這家公司創(chuàng)作了十多種其他書籍的漫畫版,其中包括拿破侖·希爾的《思考致富》、尼科洛·馬基雅維利的《君主論》,以及孫武寫的《孫子兵法》。今年晚些時候,該公司還計劃發(fā)行說唱歌手50美分寫的一本漫畫書。
