Comics are an American-originated artform that tell a story through a combination of drawings, usually but not always colored; and words, both dialogue for the characters portrayed, and narrative description. Comics have flourished since early in the 20th century, but have struggled for respect as a medium of expression, too often being dismissed as "for children." Comics cover every topic from the most mundane to tales of superheroes.
