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