Comics have a storied history dating back to the 18th century, with roots in satirical prints and caricatures. Over time, they evolved into a medium that combines text and imagery to tell engaging stories. Iconic characters like Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man have become cultural touchstones, capturing the imaginations of readers worldwide. The recent success of films like “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” demonstrates the enduring appeal of comic book storytelling.
