INTRODUCTION TO THE PHILIPPINES POPULAR CULTURE

Comics is a popular culture to me because, comics have influenced culture as well as reflected it. From
their humble beginnings as reprints of comic strips, comic books have matured into works of art,
literature and cultural significance in their own right. And With its beginnings in periodicals and
newspapers as a humour centric content, comics have evolved to include narratives of war, vigilantism,
and even philosophy. As a pop-culture genre i.e. one that's mass produced and mass consumed, comics
have often been relegated to the fringes by art critics.
