Every year on September 25, comic book readers, collectors, lovers and fans participate in National Comic Book Day.

No Caption Provided

In 1933, a comic book, Famous Funnies, appeared in the United States and is believed to be the first real comic book. It was a reprinting of earlier newspaper comic strips which established many of the story-telling devices used in comics.

The term “comic book” comes from the first book sold as a book reprinted of humor comic strips.

Despite their name, comic books are not all humorous in tone and feature stories in all genres.

Comics as a print medium have existed in America since the printing of The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck in 1842 in hardcover, making it the first known American comic book.

The comic book is a lesser medium designed for children and intellectually/emotionally stunted adults. Its best works couldn't even hope to compare to the masterworks of literature, film, and music. Put aside your infantile affection for child fantasies and enter the realm of adulthood.

I'm being very serious.

Then this is very grave and portentous.

I don't really know who between you or me is an "intellectually/emotionally stunted adult" ? But you must have a misconseption of what comics can be. As it might be true for super-hero comcis, this is only a little part of comics.

As an exemple, "100 Bullets", a comics by Brian Azzarello, is considered the best crime fiction in any medium.

And if this was suppose to be a joke, you failed.

@jb681131: The joke was for my own amusement.

"100 Bullets, a comics by Brian Azzarello, is considered the best crime fiction in any medium."

I love comic books, but that is an absurd statement. 100 Bullets was average at best, and I seriously doubt anyone besides comic book readers knows about it.

Criminal, Parker, Black Cat, Road to Perdition, Fatale, and even Scalped are much better crime comics.

@sprior93: I guess everyone is entitled to its own opinion. I find it a shame that you find a 100 bullet average.
