Comic books in general




Comic books, or comics, have been round for hundreds of years. in the early 1800s a Swiss newspaper published a small strip and in the 1860s it spread to America.
There were the Japanese mangas and the British humour strips around this time too.

Styles have changed and evolved, which can be distinct to the geographical area.
If you're looking for schoolgirls or giant robots with wings then Asia's your place( classic transformers), but if you're looking for superpowers and detailed technology then America's for you(marvel, DC).

Collecting comic books can be a difficult and expensive hobby, but it is a very popular one and with good reason.
Comic books can make people laugh, create a sense of awe and make people feel powerful all at once.
They are usually very political and up to date(unless you're collecting proto-comics).
