A comic book is a
magazine or
book containing
sequential art in the form of a
narrative. Comic books are often called
comics for short. Although the term implies otherwise, the subject matter in comic books is not necessarily humorous, and in fact it is often serious and action-oriented. The term "comics" in this context does not refer to
comic strips (such as
Peanuts or
Dilbert). In the last quarter of the twentieth century, greater acceptance of the comics form among the general reading populace coincided with a greater usage of the term
graphic novel, often meant to differentiate a book of comics with a spine from its
saddle-stitched form, but the difference between the terms is ambiguous, as comics have become increasingly available in libraries and mainstream book stores. It also sometimes differentiates between an issue in a serial story and a self-contained story or
one-shot although this term was used primarily in the 80s and 90s.
