Comics

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A comic, denotes a hybrid medium having verbal side of its vocabulary tightly tied to its visual side, seeking synergy by using both visual (non-verbal) and verbal side in interaction. The sequential nature of the pictures, and the predominance of pictures over words, distinguishes comics from picture books, although some in comics studies disagree and claim that in fact what differentiates comics from other forms on the continuum from word-only narratives, on one hand, to picture-only narratives, on the other, is social context.
