Yowch! Reminds me of comparisons between US and Japanese comic books. US comics are packed with exposition while Japanese comics are more cinematic.

Have you read mangas?? While there are of course a wide variety in such a big market,and many who use only a few or even no words, on average mangas are not sparse with exposition and use a lot of words explaining everything to the reader.
