The first modern comic book was invented in the United States in 1933. Pretty amazing!
Oh really? Where are their roots traced back to? Japan or something?
I don't know, but Japanese Manga does have the same key elements like panels and balloons with text.
yea they really do span across a few cultures? What came before comic books? Newspaper strips?
Yeah I think that comic strips and other newspaper origin predated a comic book as we think of it. What is your opinion of comic books?
I think they are a very interesting and important form of media that cross into other territories and help bridge the gap between more accepted and modernized forms of media
Superhero genre comics have really evolved. The marvel movies are the most profitible franchise in Hollywood these days.
