Comic books have a rich history, originating in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and have evolved in style, themes, and distribution methods over the years. They are an influential medium in popular culture, contributing to the rise of superheroes and impacting film, television, and other forms of entertainment. Comic books are not only read for entertainment but are also studied for their artistic, literary, and cultural significance.
