Portal:Comics/Intro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia's portal for comics. Comics have a long tradition, the aspects of the form becoming formalised alongside the invention of the printing press, and the status of comics as an art form has recently gained fresh focus. The iconic representations of comics require no translation, giving the comic strip and cartoon a universal power of communication. Comics are also artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and in turn, affect them.
