history: My son loves Comic books, but I know literally nothing about them! Are you a comic book fan? I know a bit about them. Comic books are a publication that has sequential panels that represent individual scenes. Sounds interesting! What are some of the most popular comic books? I'm not sure.  I do know that they were around in eighteenth century Japan, and also in Europe in the 1830's.  Comics first became popular in the US during the 1930's. Oh wow! I had no idea they've been around that long. I'll bet those early Japanese ones were beautiful! Perhaps!  I can also tell you that books of comics rely on appearance and organization. I'll bet there are a lot of great stories! I think one of my favorite shows, The Walking Dead, started as a comic book! Yes, it was based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. Nice, I'll have to check them out one day! What else can you tell me about comic books?
