Comic books are a part of our popular culture and often play a role in promoting reading and fostering creativity, especially in children during their growth and learning process. Despite being closely associated with children's literature due to their playful values, comic books exhibit significant complexity in their narrative techniques, which are often underestimated and subject to certain biases. There are numerous narrative techniques that an author can utilize in constructing their work to make it more enjoyable and appealing, including the organization of shapes and silhouettes of characters and panels. This article explores the relationship between Gestalt Theory and comic book construction techniques, highlighting how visual elements and spatial organization in comics are connected to the principles of the psychology of forms. Through a detailed analysis grounded in specialized literature, derived from bibliographical research, we will demonstrate how comics can leverage Gestalt principles to create a unique and coherent visual experience for readers.
