Superhero comics are a form of
American comic books. The form
rose to prominence in the 1930s
and 1940s and has remained the
dominant form of comic book in
North America since the 1960s.
Superhero comics feature stories
about superheroes and the
universes these characters inhabit.
this genre was chosen due to the fact that
my most enjoyed comics are the super hero
ones such as; what i consider the father of
the superhero comic superman, one of my
most favorite comics the flash and others.
And these chracters are who influenced my
characters heavily.
teen humor
Teen humor comics is a genre of comics
that humorously depicts contemporary
American teenagers. When teen culture
and buying power emerged in the early
1940s, comics publishers were quick to
glut the newsstands with light-hearted,
innocuous comic books about funny
teens, cars, dating, high school, and
parents. Teen humor comics appealed
especially to young teen girls and tweens
of both sexes because the books gave
them a glimpse of what awaited them in
high school.
i wanted this genre of comics to be glimpsed in
my comic. Due to the dark tone of my comic i felt
some comic relief was necessary in order to keep
my targeted audience interested in the read. this
is also the other reason i wanted teen humor to
be involved and thats simply due to the fact that
teens is also who this comic is directed at
types of panel
Panel A panel, frame or box is one drawing on a
page, and contains a segment of action. A page may have
one or many panels, and panels are frequently, but not
always, surrounded by a border or outline, whose shape
can be altered to indicate emotion, tension or flashback
sequences. The size, shape and style of a panel, as well as the
placement of figures and speech balloons inside it, affect the
timing or pacing of a story. Panels are used to break up and
encapsulate sequences of events in a narrative. What occurs
in a panel may be asynchronous, meaning that not everything
that occurs in a single panel necessarily occurs at one time.
i consider this important
as the comic panels
compliment the story and
make it easier for the
reader to digest
comic book definition
Also known as a comic or floppy, a comic book is a periodical,
normally thin and stapled together. Comic books have a greater
variety of units of encapsulation than comic strips, including the
panel, the page, the spread and inset panels. They are also
capable of more sophisticated layouts and compositions.
the reason i wanted to focus on comics as my main focus was
because growing up super hero movies and series was of great
importance to me i watched them all and seen them all but i
found out that they sometimes they sometimes, more times
than not, would differ from the source matterial and this made
me interested in how the story wouldve/shouldve turned out so
i read the comics to the respected movies and henceforth my
love was conceived
the methods i used to
complete the comic
- simple sketches of characters
- then used felttip to draw
over
- scanned onto computer
before being enhanced and
coloured in
