Comic book Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

A comic book (sometimes called funnies or funny paper) is a book or magazine and more recently a graphic novel in the artistic medium known as comics. American comic books have become closely associated with the superhero genre. Japanese comic books are called manga and Korean comic books are called manhwa.

In the UK, the term comic book is mainly used for American comic books by their readers and collectors. British comic books, and to the non-aficionado, all comic books, would simply be called comics; a comic book would, if anything, be seen as a book collecting comics – such as the Oor Wullie annual.

Many early comic books were simply collections of comic strips. The commercial success of these collections led to work being created specifically for the comic book form, which fostered such comic book specific techniques as the splash page and the two-page spread.
