Before we start this history in to the comic book, we need to know exactly

what a comic book is!
Lesson 1 :

A comic book is a Illustrated magazine or book containing sequential art in the form of a narrative. Comic books are often called comics for short.

Comic Book- noun- a magazine with one or more comic strips.

the first word (comic) is based on the word comedic, or Comical, comedy.

the second is because it’s in book form no surprise there

The standard comic book size is 6 5/8 x 10 1/4″, but can range from 11 by 17 to ashcan size which is about 5 by 7.

The history of the comic book in the U.S. is divided into several ages or historical eras: The Platinum Age, The Golden Age, The Silver Age, The Bronze Age, and The Modern Age.

A comic book portrays a story through a series of sequential illustrations that incorporate short bits of text containing dialogue, sounds, or narratives. The story may be Action, humorous, or it may present a world of adventure, mystery, or fantasy. Most comic books are printed on a monthly basis and for the most part have a central character with a large supporting cast who appear in each issue. A particular story may be told in a single issue, or it may contain a continuous story spanning for months at a time.

The artistic style of a comic book is often attributed to a single artist, working independently, although most comics are produced by a team of artists and writers working together.
