Originally, comic books were used as promotional materials for products like cereal but became popular enough that publishers began producing monthly comic books for 10 cents each. Early comic books reprinted existing comic strips but then introduced original characters like Superman and Batman, which were tremendously successful and led to the growth of the comic book industry, dominated by superhero comics. By 1945, there were around 160 different comic books published monthly in the US and 90% of American children read comics regularly.
