		Comics are a form of visual art that consists of a series of static images in a fixed sequence, usually to tell a story.
		Comics are thought by some to be an art form, also known as sequential art, although whether they are an art form or are merely a medium in which sequential art is practised is still a matter of debate amongst creators, scholars and readers.
		The narration of a comic is set out through the layout of the images, and whilst there may be many people who work on one work, like films, there is one vision of the narrative which guides the work.

		Fashioned for a mostly adolescent audience by individuals often little older than their readers, comic books have not been obliged to meet the critical and aesthetic criteria of respectability reserved for works aimed at older consumers (including newspaper comic strips).
		Although comic books would later embrace a variety of genres, including war, western, romance, crime, horror, and humor, they have always been most closely identified with the costumed superheroes who made the medium a viable entertainment industry.
		Only a few years after the end of its participation in a world war, the comic-book industry found itself engaged in a new conflict--a cultural war for the hearts and minds of the postwar generation.

	Colonel Blimps' England by Prof. Peter Mellini
		Blimp's career, in Low's cartoons and elsewhere, is a window into an era crucial to Britain's fortunes in the world, on the evolution of her national symbols, and on the impact of editorial cartooning.
		Low thought he had created in Blimp merely a comic figure typifying stupidity, but public opinion decided he was a symbol of profound meaning.' In his Autobiography late in the 1950s Low observed that the rotund Colonel was 'an object lesson in what can happen to a symbol.
		He manipulated his characters and meshed ideas, symbols and words so effectively, that years later, when we look at his cartoons and his caricatures, we laugh and comprehend, even if the references are obscure.

	Salon.com People \| Bin Laden as Lex Luthor
		His loathing for Superman is personal: According to DC comics lore, Luthor went bad as a teenager when Superboy, rescuing him from a scientific experiment gone awry, inadvertently caused him to go bald.
		In the old comics, Superman would respond to a hurricane or other disaster, only to find out that it was a cover for a robbery or other heinous act by Luthor's men.
		In the cultural upheaval of the '60s, comic artists such as Jack Kirby (creator of the characters Darkseid and Dr. Doom, on whom Darth Vader was said to be based) began to invest villains with moral ambiguity, Evanier says.

		Even before the Terrytoons character's initial release, however, another character named Supermouse was in the works.

		He first appeared in his own comic in 1946, and was published steadily all through the 1950s and part of the '60s.
