Comic book

From TheBestLinks.com

A comic book (sometimes called funnies or funny paper, especially in British English) is a book or magazine in the artistic medium known as comics. American comic books have become closely associated with the superhero genre. Japanese comic books are called manga and Korean comic books are called manhwa.

Many early comic books were simply collections of comic strips. The commercial success of these collections led to work being created specifically for the comic book form, which fostered such comic book specific techniques as the splash page and the two-page spread.
