COMICS

Comics is a medium used to express ideas via images, often combined with text or other visual information. Comics frequently takes the form of juxtaposed sequences of panels of images. Often textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information. Size and arrangement of panels contribute to narrative pacing. Cartooning and similar forms of illustration are the most common image-making means in comics; fumetti is a form which uses photographic images. Common forms of comics include comic strips, editorial and gag cartoons, and comic books. Since the late 20th century, bound volumes such as graphic novels, comics albums, and tankōbon have become increasingly common, and online webcomics have proliferated in the 21st century.
Comics has had a lowbrow reputation for much of its history, but towards the end of the 20th century began to find greater acceptance with the public and within academia. The English term comics derives from the humorous work which predominated in early American newspaper comic strips; usage of the term has become standard also for non-humorous works. It is common in English to refer to the comics of different cultures by the terms used in their original languages, such as manga for Japanese comics, or bandes dessinées for French-language comics. There is no consensus amongst theorists and historians on a definition of comics; some emphasize the combination of images and text, some sequentiality or other image relations, and others historical aspects such as mass reproduction or the use of recurring characters. The increasing cross-pollination of concepts from different comics cultures and eras has further made defining the medium difficult.

Histoire de Monsieur Cryptogame Rodolphe Töpffer, 1830

The Yellow Kid R. F. Outcault, 1898
Outside of these genealogies, comics theorists and historians have seen precedents for comics in the Lascaux cave paintings in France , Egyptian hieroglyphs, Trajan's Column in Rome, the 11th-century Norman Bayeux Tapestry, the 1370 bois Protat woodcut, the 15th-century Ars moriendi and block books, Michelangelo's The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel, and William Hogarth's 17th-century sequential engravings, amongst others.
Theorists debate whether the Bayeux Tapestry is a precursor to comics. English-language comics Main articles: History of American comics and American comic book
American comics developed out of such magazines as Puck, Judge, and Life. The success of illustrated humour supplements in the New York World and later the New York American, particularly Outcault's The Yellow Kid, led to the development of newspaper comic strips. Early Sunday strips were full-page and often in colour. Between 1896 and 1901 cartoonists experimented with sequentiality, movement, and speech balloons. Shorter, black-and-white daily strips began to appear early in the 20th century, and became established in newspapers after the success in 1907 of Bud Fisher's Mutt and Jeff. Humour strips predominated at first, and in the 1920s and 1930s strips with continuing stories in genres such as adventure and drama also became popular. Thin periodicals called comic books appeared in the 1930s, at first reprinting newspaper comic strips; by the end of the decade, original content began to dominate. The success in 1938 of Action Comics and its lead hero Superman marked the beginning of the Golden Age of Comic Books, in which the superhero genre was prominent.
Superheroes have been a staple of American comic books " title="Flame ">The Flame by Will Eisner).
Comics in the US has had a lowbrow reputation stemming from its roots in mass culture; cultural elites sometimes saw popular culture as threatening culture and society. In the latter half of the 20th century, popular culture won greater acceptance, and the lines between "high" and "low" culture began to blur. Comics, however, continued to be stigmatized, as the medium was seen as entertainment for children and illiterates.
The francophone Swiss Rodolphe Töpffer produced comic strips beginning in 1827, and published theories behind the form. Cartoons appeared widely in newspapers and magazines from the 19th century. The success of Zig et Puce in 1925 popularized the use of speech balloons in European comics, after which Franco-Belgian comics began to dominate. The Adventures of Tintin, with its signature clear line style, was first serialized in newspaper comics supplements beginning in 1929, and became an icon of Franco-Belgian comics.
In the 1960s, the term bandes dessinées came into wide use in French to denote the medium. Cartoonists began creating comics for mature audiences, and the term "Ninth Art" was coined, as comics began to attract public and academic attention as an artform. A group including René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo founded the magazine Pilote in 1959 to give artists greater freedom over their work. Goscinny and Uderzo's The Adventures of Asterix appeared in it and went on to become the best-selling French-language comics series. From 1960, the satirical and taboo-breaking Hara-Kiri defied censorship laws in the countercultural spirit that led to the May 1968 events.
From the 1980s, mainstream sensibilities were reasserted and serialization became less common as the number of comics magazines decreased and many comics began to be published directly as albums. Smaller publishers such as L'Association that published longer works in non-traditional formats by auteur-istic creators also became common. Since the 1990s, mergers resulted in fewer large publishers, while smaller publishers proliferated. Sales overall continued to grow despite the trend towards a shrinking print market.
Japanese comics Main article: History of manga Rakuten Kitazawa's created the first modern Japanese comic strip. 1902)
Illustrated magazines for Western expatriates introduced Western-style satirical cartoons to Japan in the late 19th century. New publications in both the Western and Japanese styles became popular, and at the end of the 1890s, American-style newspaper comics supplements began to appear in Japan, as well as some American comic strips. 1900 saw the debut of the Jiji Manga in the Jiji Shinpō newspaper—the first use of the word "manga" in its modern sense, and where, in 1902, Rakuten Kitazawa began the first modern Japanese comic strip. By the 1930s, comic strips were serialized in large-circulation monthly girls' and boys' magazine and collected into hardback volumes.
Comic strips are generally short, multipanel comics that traditionally most commonly appeared in newspapers. In the US, daily strips have normally occupied a single tier, while Sunday strips have been given multiple tiers. In the early 20th century, daily strips were typically in black-and-white and Sundays were usually in colour and often occupied a full page.
Book-length comics take different forms in different cultures. European comics albums are most commonly printed in A4-size colour volumes. In English-speaking countries, bound volumes of comics are called graphic novels and are available in various formats. Despite incorporating the term "novel"—a term normally associated with fiction—"graphic novel" also refers to non-fiction and collections of short works. Japanese comics are collected in volumes called tankōbon following magazine serialization.
Webcomics are comics that are available on the internet. They are able to reach large audiences, and new readers usually can access archived installments. Webcomics can make use of an infinite canvas—meaning they are not constrained by size or dimensions of a page.
"Comics ... are sometimes four-legged and sometimes two-legged and sometimes fly and sometimes don't ... to employ a metaphor as mixed as the medium itself, defining comics entails cutting a Gordian-knotted enigma wrapped in a mystery ..."
R. C. Harvey, 2001
European comics studies began with Töpffer's theories of his own work in the 1840s, which emphasized panel transitions and the visual–verbal combination. No further progress was made until the 1970s. Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle then took a semiotics approach to the study of comics, analyzing text–image relations, page-level image relations, and image discontinuities, or what Scott McCloud later dubbed "closure". In 1987, Henri Vanlier introduced the term multicadre, or "multiframe", to refer to the comics a page as a semantic unit. By the 1990s, theorists such as Benoît Peeters and Thierry Groensteen turned attention to artists' poïetic creative choices. Thierry Smolderen and Harry Morgan have held relativistic views of the definition of comics, a medium that has taken various, equally valid forms over its history. Morgan sees comics as a subset of "les littératures dessinées" . French theory has come to give special attention to the page, in distinction from American theories such as McCloud's which focus on panel-to-panel transitions. Since the mid-2000s, Neil Cohn has begun analyzing how comics are understood using tools from cognitive science, extending beyond theory by using actual psychological and neuroscience experiments. This work has argued that sequential images and page layouts both use separate rule-bound "grammars" to be understood that extend beyond panel-to-panel transitions and categorical distinctions of types of layouts, and that the brain's comprehension of comics is similar to comprehending other domains, such as language and music.
Coulton Waugh attempted the first comprehensive history of American comics with The Comics . Will Eisner's Comics and Sequential Art and Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics were early attempts in English to formalize the study of comics. David Carrier's The Aesthetics of Comics was the first full-length treatment of comics from a philosophical perspective. Prominent American attempts at definitions of comics include Eisner's, McCloud's, and Harvey's. Eisner described what he called "sequential art" as "the arrangement of pictures or images and words to narrate a story or dramatize an idea"; Scott McCloud defined comics "juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer", a strictly formal definition which detached comics from its historical and cultural trappings. R. C. Harvey defined comics as "pictorial narratives or expositions in which words usually contribute to the meaning of the pictures and vice versa". Each definition has had its detractors. Harvey saw McCloud's definition as excluding single-panel cartoons, and objected to McCloud's de-emphasizing verbal elements, insisting "the essential characteristic of comics is the incorporation of verbal content". Aaron Meskin saw McCloud's theories as an artificial attempt to legitimize the place of comics in art history.
Panels are individual images containing a segment of action, often surrounded by a border. Prime moments in a narrative are broken down into panels via a process called encapsulation. The reader puts the pieces together via the process of closure by using background knowledge and an understanding of panel relations to combine panels mentally into events. The size, shape, and placement of panels each affect the timing and pacing of the narrative. The contents of a panel may be asynchronous, with events depicted in the same image not necessarily occurring at the same time.
A caption gives the narrator a voice. The characters' dialogue appears in speech balloons. The tail of the balloon indicates the speaker.
Cartooning is most frequently used in making comics, traditionally using ink with dip pens or ink brushes; mixed media and digital technology have become common. Cartooning techniques such as motion lines and abstract symbols are often employed.
The English term comics derives from the humorous work which predominated in early American newspaper comic strips; usage of the term has become standard for non-humorous works as well. The term "comic book" has a similarly confusing history: they are most often not humorous; nor are they regular books, but rather periodicals. It is common in English to refer to the comics of different cultures by the terms used in their original languages, such as manga for Japanese comics, or bandes dessinées for French-language Franco-Belgian comics.

Homo Homo sapiens is the humanness genus Homo sapiens, which as well incorporate Neanderthals Homo sapiens and numerousness different extinct Homo sapiens taxonomic category of hominid Homo sapiens; H. sapiens is the alone living taxonomic category of the sort Homo. Modern group are the taxonomic category Homo sapiens sapiens Homo sapiens, which undifferentiated and so from panama hat has old person represent to be heritor straight ancestor, Homo sapiens idaltu Homo sapiens. The ingeniousness and pliability of Homo sapiens has led to its becoming, arguably, the to the highest degree prestigious taxonomic category on the planet; it is presently take for of to the lowest degree touch on on the Red List Homo sapiens of vulnerable taxonomic category by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Homo sapiens. The binomial name Homo sapiens Homo sapiens was country by Carl Linnaeus Homo sapiens 1758. The Latin Homo sapiens generic noun homō possessive hominis stepping stone "man Homo sapiens, humanness being". Subspecies Homo sapiens of H. sapiens incorporate Homo sapiens idaltu and the alone extant Homo sapiens subspecies, Homo sapiens sapiens. Some origin exhibit Neanderthals Homo sapiens Homo neanderthalensis as a taxonomic category (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis). Similarly, the observed taxonomic category of the Homo rhodesiensis Homo sapiens taxonomic category have old person sorted by both as a taxonomic category Homo sapiens rhodesiensis, but these past two taxonomic category categorisation are not wide recognised by scientists. Traditionally, there are two adequate orientation in paleoanthropology Homo sapiens around the because of H. sapiens: the recent African origin Homo sapiens and the multiregional origin Homo sapiens. Since 2010, transmissible scientific research has led to the outgrowth of an gray position, remember by mostly new African because undetermined limited admixture with early humans Homo sapiens. The new African because of contemporaneity group is the thought string theory that written on this place expound the because and early dispersal Homo sapiens of anatomically contemporaneity humans Homo sapiens. The field theory is questionable the Recent Out-of-Africa string theory in the touristed press, and academically the recent single-origin hypothesis RSOH, Replacement Hypothesis, and Recent African Origin RAO model. The proposal that group have a individuality because (monogenesis) was unpublished in Charles Darwin Homo sapiens's Descent of Man Homo sapiens 1871. The attribute was theoretic unloosen the 1980s, when it was prove by a examination of present-day mitochondrial DNA Homo sapiens, compounded with information supported on physical anthropology Homo sapiens of early specimens Homo sapiens. According to transmissible and fogey evidence, archaic Homo sapiens Homo sapiens embroiled to anatomically contemporaneity humans Homo sapiens alone in Africa Homo sapiens, between 200,000 and 100,000 mid-sixties ago, with members of one division leaving Africa by 60,000 mid-sixties ago and concluded case commutation sooner humanness people much as Neanderthals Homo sapiens and Homo erectus Homo sapiens. The new individuality because of contemporaneity group in East Africa Homo sapiens is the near-consensus right owned inside the technological community.9 Homo sapiens However, new sequencing of the full Neanderthal genome suggests Neanderthals and both modern group tranche both ancient transmissible lineages. The wordsmith of the examination suggest that their assemblage are consistent with Neanderthal admixture of up to 4% in both populations. But the examination as well suggests that there may be other account why group and Neanderthals tranche ancient transmissible lineages.11 Homo sapiens In August 2012, a examination by medical scientist at the University of Cambridge question of fact this conclusion, hypothesising instead that the DNA co-occur is a residue of a commonness ascendent of some Neanderthals and contemporaneity humans.13 Homo sapiens The multiregional because string theory bush an definition for the perception of humanness development advance by Milford H.

Multiregional because preserve that the evolution of humanity Homo sapiens from the origin of the Pleistocene Homo sapiens 2.5 cardinal mid-sixties BP Homo sapiens to the instant day has old person inside a single, round-the-clock please see human species Homo sapiens, distasteful global to contemporaneity Homo sapiens sapiens. The case eyeglasses for the development of the sort Homo Homo sapiens out of the chimpanzee–human past commonness ancestor Homo sapiens is about 10 to 2 cardinal mid-sixties ago, that of H. sapiens out of Homo erectus Homo sapiens about 1.8 to 0.2 cardinal mid-sixties ago. Scientific examination of human evolution Homo sapiens is concerned, primarily, with the broadening of the sort Homo, but normally implicate perusal different hominids Homo sapiens and hominines Homo sapiens as well, much as Australopithecus Homo sapiens. "Modern humans" are outlined as the Homo sapiens species Homo sapiens, of which the alone existent subspecies Homo sapiens is well-known as Homo sapiens sapiens. Homo sapiens idaltu Homo sapiens, the different well-known subspecies, is now extinct.Homo neanderthalensis Homo sapiens, which run nonextant 30,000 mid-sixties ago, has sometimes old person sorted as a subspecies, "Homo sapiens neanderthalensis"; transmissible recording studio now advance that the function DNA of contemporaneity group and Neanderthals different 500,000 mid-sixties ago. Similarly, the observed taxonomic category of the Homo rhodesiensis Homo sapiens taxonomic category have old person sorted by both as a subspecies, but this categorisation is not wide accepted. Anatomically contemporaneity group first stick out in the fogey accession in Africa around 195,000 mid-sixties ago see Omo remains Homo sapiens, and studies of molecular biogeography drive home information that the border on case of divergence from the commonness ancestor of all modern humanness people was 200,000 mid-sixties ago.21 Homo sapiens The wide examination of African transmissible biodiversity open up the ǂKhomani San people Homo sapiens to express the sterling transmissible biodiversity among the 113 decided people sampled, cartography and so one of 14 "ancestral people clusters".
