	European comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		European comics is a generalized terms for comics produced in Continental Europe.
		Though technically European, British comics are for historical and cultural reasons considered separate from European comics due to the existance of a well-established domestic market and traditions which more closely resemble the development of American comics.
		Franco-Belgian comics are historicall among the dominant scenes of European comics.

	Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comics (or, less common, sequential art) is a form of visual art consisting of images which are commonly combined with text, often in the form of speech balloons or image captions.
		Whilst almost all comics art is in some sense abbreviated, and also whilst every artist who has produced comics work brings their own individual approach to bear, some broader art styles have been identified.
		In the United States the term "comics" is sometimes used to describe the page of a newspaper upon which comic strips are found, and through this usage has also grown to be used as a definition for comic strips.

	The Publication and Formats of Comics, Graphic Novels, and Tankobon by Chris Couch
		Comic books continued to be anthology publications, but the stories were in most cases complete, rarely serialized, and in some books all or almost all the stories were centered on a single popular character.
		Comic strips had been reprinted in books before the advent of comic books, and continued to be reprinted in book form afterward, as they are today.
		The growing dominance of long-form works of comic art-graphic novels-is frequently heralded as an indication of the aesthetic and literary development of the comic art medium in the United States.(6) Such a development might equally be viewed as a convergence of related traditions of comic art in the United States, Europe, and Japan.

		European comics can be contrasted with superhero genre and manga, which are produced and read in English speaking countries and Japan, respectively.

		The precise definition of comics remains a subject of debate, with some scholars insisting that their printed nature is crucial to the definition, or that they should be defined by the interdependence of image and text.
		The term "comics" likely originated in early 20th century comic strips, which were originally a venue for serial and gag humor (i.e., the name came from comedy).
		A radical break with the traditional comic genres occurred in the late 1960s with the advent of satirical, psychedelic, and sexually explicit underground comics.

		There are lots of aspects of alternative comics that are worth exploring, especially because so little has been said about most representatives, about their purposes, their influence on the mainstream, the history and lots of other interesting topics.
		The way of defining terms in the comics theory still works with a method called componential analysis, which means that the meaning of a term is split up in parts to make up a definition of all members belonging to this term.
		One of the reasons of the decline of the comics industry in the States, in my opinion, is the lack of experiment, the stubborn refusal to publish refreshingly new comics for women, for example.

	EU scraps children's comic that promotes single currency
		THE European Commission is to pulp 75,000 copies of a pro-European comic aimed at children because they fear a Euro-sceptic backlash if it is published in Britain.
		The publication, subtitled "a comic for young people on a peaceful Europe without frontiers", describes the adventures of three children who fall through their computer screens into a world before the European Union, when nation states still flourish.
		In the comic, the children persuade the backward natives of independent states that it is better to join together in the EU.

		American comics (superhero) are regarded as childish badly-drawn almost garbage by serious comic-fans over here............even more, talk about comics and you talk about American stuff, Dutch/Belgian people talk about comics and strips (the Dutch/Belgian word for comics.....but not a literally translation) like they are two different things entirely.
		Superheroes are almost non-existent in European comics, the format is very, very different and also the monthly publishing of a title is not te be seen here, an album a year most of the time.
		Comics got more popular over the years, starting with publisher Juniorpress end of the '70ies (I'm talking the Netherlands/Belgium here, can't speak for the rest of Europe), there was earlier stuff, but not that much.

	INDONESIAN COMIC TODAY
		All those foreign comics were so attractive that they inspire the Indonesian younger generation to make their own comics.
		So when those comics series were released as comic albums, most readers were reluctant to buy them, since they already knew what the whole story was all about (with the exception of some very popular albums that are worth collecting).
		We have noticed that there are a number of new European comics, created by young, talented, artists, with a potential to capture faithful readers, that are released in many countries but not in Indonesia.

		Such a wide reader base allows European comics a greater diversity of content that, coupled with the high literary and art standards of their creators, allows for more mature, challenging and layered non-superhero narratives not often seen outside of specialist publishers and imprints like Vertigo and Oni Press.
		In a time where British comics were struggling to keep up with their American counterparts, 2000AD launched a revolutionary movement all of its own, tapping into the cynicism, irreverent humour and attitude of the punks dressed up in the garb of pulp science fiction.
		EC Comics is legendary within the industry for its string of pulp horror books that enjoyed a great deal of success up until the stifling climate of the early Comic Code Authority years buried many of its titles, such as Tales from the Crypt, seemingly for good.

		Gravett is passionate about comics, though, and one of the people responsible for organising events such as these, so we can forgive him such transgressions from time to time.
		Of course, as with every single comics event ever, there had to be at least some sort of discussion about how to get people who don't read comics to do so, prompting much head-nodding at the familiarity of certain situations, but ultimately no resolution, which was really not too big a surprise.
		Once again, someone outside of the industry is offering to invest energy and time into promoting comics as a worthwhile art form, and it would be churlish not to take him up on his offer.
