What makes the comic books so special is the illustrations and the graphics. Tintin would not be so special if Harge did not work hard on the graphics and illustrations that made it one of the worlds best comics. Images always play a big role in making the narrative more interesting. Ever since the prehistoric time’s man has been painting out his thoughts and that is very much clear in the rock paintings when mankind had just begun to evolve. Comic books came into the picture in the 1800s when they were published in the newspaper in an episodic manner. Gasolene Alley and Katzenjammer Kids were among the first comic stories that were published. These were later on published as the compilations and brought out as comic books. This became a trend later and comics in different themes started being published such as Light humor comics like Peanuts, Superheroes comics like The Spectre, Adventure comics like Tarzan, Memoirs like My Friend Dahmer and many more.
