Comic books. They're a genre all of their own, known more specifically as "sequential art," art that goes in a certain order, telling a story. They have a history to them, in fact, a history which spans not only decades but centuries, existing in their most primitive form as Egyptian hieroglyphics.

From Superman to the Fantastic Four to Spider-Man to Spawn, this page will examine the exact history and meaning of comics. And, hopefully, you will leave it with a higher respect for what you may have regarded as simple pieces of paper stapled together.
