I love comic books. They are easy to read and the stories are pretty good.
This is also known as magazine. What I like about them is the art forms that are used to tell different scenes and characters  
Indeed there are so many comic book styles, more than in writing novels.
Yes, you see that they are arranged in panels with a description that looks like the heading and different narratives
Pretty much. If you don't scroll too fast you can really be surprised by the script.
Their origin is very interesting as they can be traced to 18th century Japan and 1830s Europe but  it was when they got to the USA that they became popular in the 1930s
I am sure they were very different before the rules got standardized.
The first comic in the United States was Famous Funnies and it was released in 1933
