History of Comic Books

Comic books were first produced by Japan, but they were read and famous in the United States and the United Kingdom in the 1930s. In 1933, the first comic book of the United States was published naming 'Famous Funnies,' which was actually printed beforehand in the newspaper called humor comic strips. This newspaper was responsible for introducing different storytelling devices that were also the roots of comics. As stated with humor and humorous tones, American comic books were not limited to comedy only as new themes were produced over time.

Even though American contributed a lot to the world of comics and its comic book market is also legendary. However still, the largest comic book market still belongs to Japan from where it was originated. Some of the largest comic book publishers of the United States present include DC comics, Marvel comics, and Viz Media (the largest chain of comic book publishers in the US). Even though it started in Japan and spread in the US, this market is not limited to these countries only as every other government has set up a comic books market. At the present time, many publishers are working and releasing some of the best comics of all time that have increased their popularity. Being immensely produced and distributed, many people read these books and add them to their collections as collectibles.
