Noun
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A comic book (often shortened to simply comic and sometimes called a funny book, comic paper or comic magazine) is a magazine made up of narrative artwork, virtually always accompanied by dialog (usually in word balloons, emblematic of the comic book artform) and often including brief descriptive prose. The first comic book appeared in the United States in 1934, reprinting the earlier newspaper comic strips, which established many of the story telling devices used in comics today. The term "comic book" arose because the first comic books reprinted humor comic strips, but despite their name, comic books are not usually humorous; most modern comic books tell stories in a variety of genres. This is seen clearly in the Japanese and European comic book markets, whereas in the United States, the market is dominated by the super hero genre, even though other genres are present.
