A History of Comics

The practise of combining pictures and words to describe a narrative or event stretches back thousands of years, but the contemporary comic strip first appeared in newspapers in the late 1800s and grew from there. ‘The Adventures of Tin Tin,’ initially published in a Belgian newspaper in 1928, was one of the most popular. Many artists, writers, and illustrators have laboured throughout the years to create a diverse selection of comic books, graphic novels, and art works to suit any genre.

Graphic Novels

What defines a graphic novel? There are many versions of a graphic novel and not everyone agrees on what classifies one. Mostly, a graphic novel is an extended comic book that gives a complete story rather than a series. Many talented artists and writers work on graphic novels, and they are great for adding a visual to written works.

Trading Card Collections

Many people all over the world like collecting trading cards. They began as a stiffener in cigarette packs, then evolved into ads, and finally into the sports industry to provide information about players and teams. Trading cards eventually expanded to include games that fans could play and trade. The comic book business has used them as an adjunct to their publications over time.

With companies like Marvel, DC, and Pokémon, the ever-growing market has grown to a multi-million-pound industry, and people are finding this unique passion at an unprecedented rate.

Collecting Memorabilia

Collecting is a popular and cherished pastime. Collecting comic book memorabilia has reached new heights. There are various options for collectors of the genre, not simply the comics and graphic novels themselves. Figurines, wall art, and replicas of objects featured in the publication or film are examples.
