    The History of Comic Books

    Comic books are as old as movies, first introduced at the beginning of the 20th century and were visually
    illustrated without any words. Comic books could be seen in prehistoric paintings in caves. ``Forerunners
    like the Swiss Rudolph Topffer, the French Georges Colomb, the Brazilian Angelo Agostini , and Richard
    Fenton Outcault’s creation, the Yellow Kid in the 1930. In the 1930s, a shift occurred towards
    adventurous tales, introducing superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Captain Marvel, alongside
    characters like Flash Gordon. The 1950s brought Charles Schulz's Peanuts, emphasizing written content.
    The 1960s witnessed a reintroduction of superheroes, including Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, X-Men, and the
    beloved Spider-Man, cementing Marvel Comics' industry dominance.
