 '''Comics''' are a medium / artform / literary form which combines words and pictures, usually in sequential panels (though single-panel cartoons exist as well) to tell a story or otherwise communicate information or entertainment.
-Although some prior examples of sequential art exist going back centuries, comics in their modern form are considered to have begun with ''The Yellow Kid'' in 1895, which began the custom of using comic strips as a newspaper feature. Usually newspapers publish a page of comics daily, and a larger comic section in color on Sunday. Comics are also published in magazine or pamphlet form as comic books, a medium which began in the 1930s and became very popular with the rise of superheroes such as Superman. Longer-form comic books in trade-paperback or hardcover form are referred to as graphic novels.

Longer-form comic books in trade-paperback or hardcover form are referred to as graphic novels. Mainstream comics were for a long time regarded by many as a medium for kids, but comics are published for a wide range of target ages, including "Adults Only" comics (which have sometimes faced legal troubles). In the 1960s "Underground Comix" emerged in conjunction with the counterculture movements of that time. From the 1980s on, various "independent" publishers (from small mom-and-pop operations to sizable companies) have challenged the big corporate publishers such as DC and Marvel, though the comic market largely moved from mainstream newsstands and drugstores to specialized comic stores catering to a fan community.
 Comics have a variety of literary, artistic, and narrative conventions unique to the medium, which are discussed (in comic-book form) by Scott McCloud in his book ''Understanding Comics'' (ISBN 0-87816-243-7). Another book of interest in learning about the history of the comics medium is ''The Rise of the Graphic Novel'' by Stephen Weiner (ISBN 1561-63702-5).
