What is a COMIC BOOK?
A comic book is a magazine or book containing the sequential art in the form of a
narrative. Comic books are often called comics for short. Although the term implies
otherwise, the subject matter in comic books is not necessarily humorous, and in
fact its dramatic seriousness varies widely. The term "comics" in this context does
not refer to comic strips (such as Peanuts or Dilbert). In the early to mid-20th
century, greater acceptance of the comics form among the general reading
populace coincided with a greater usage of the term graphic novel, often meant to
differentiate a book of comics with a spine from its stapled, pamphlet form, but the
difference between the terms seems fuzzy at best as comics become more
widespread in libraries, mainstream bookstores and other places.

The earliest comic books were simply collections of comic strips that had originally
been printed in newspapers. The commercial success of these collections led to
work being created specifically for the comic-book form, which fostered specific
conventions such as splash pages. Long-form comic books, generally with
hardcover or trade-paper binding came to be known as graphic novels, but as
noted above, the term's definition is especially fluid. Like jazz and a handful of other
cultural artifacts, comic books are a rare indigenous American art form.
