Best Answer

Comic books are a form of illustrated storytelling that combines text and images, often with a sequential art format. Traditional books contain only text with no illustrations, relying solely on words to convey the story. While both forms share the goal of storytelling, they differ in presentation and style.

A lot of people say that comic books are of a lesser value than a "real" books; that comic strips belong to a culture of pictures, so are good enough for those who spend their free time watching TV or Surfing the Net. It is widely belief that comic books are an obstacle on the way to reading something more serious; that they are mostly aimed at children, and adults, who are wise enough to appreciate literature shouldn't waste time on them.

Well.... kind of. Manga is a type of comic, but not all comics are manga. Manga is a special type of comic read backwards with a specific style. It is typically Japanese, but can be Korean or Chinese as well.

No , the two have fundamental differences . Comic books contain graphic images of sequential art whereas a book is composed primarily of prose or poetry .
