The purposes of the study were as the following: 1. To indicate how the static plane pictorial images convey the sense of motion through the collection of literatures. 2. To classify the basic types of motion expression in comic strips through sample analyses. 3. To figure out the cognitive interrelations between the types of motion expression in comic strips and the sense of speed. The study analyzed five sets of comic books, including YAKUZA SIDE STORY, NARUTO, ONE PIECE, KYO and THE PRINCE OF TENNIS. In order to illustrate the relations between motion expression of pictorial image and visual-sensing experiences, two major types of motion expression in comic strips were classified : (1) Subject Pictorial Image Expression Type, within which four sub-types were poses, subject blur, frame performances and multiple images. (2) Assistant Effect Type, within which five sub-types were background blur, speed lines, motion effect lines, assistant objects and assistant symbols. The results of questionnaire analyses revealed that the takers’ cognitions towards motion expression pictorial image in comic strips relied mainly on their daily experiences and knowledge, by which the meanings of pictorial images were interpreted. When perceiving very quick motion expression, the takers’ visual experiences mostly recurred, such as subject blur, multiple images and background blur, etc. While using comic symbols as assistance, the number and density were the major factors affecting the sense of speed.
