National Comic Book Day in the United States
Read a comic, or two, or... (Photo: karen roach, Shutterstock)
September 25
Buy a comic book, or two, or...
Read a comic book, or two, or...
In French bande dessinee (or briefly — "BD"), in Italian fumetti, in German bilderbogen, in Serbian — strip, in Japanese — manga, in Chinese — lianhuanhua, in English — comic book (or comics), in Russian — comic.
Today is the day when it's time to talk about comics — a genre of hand drawn literature that has long become part of the book culture and a profitable industry in developed countries.
Every year, on September 25, Americans and all fans of comics celebrate National Comic Book Day (National Comic Book Day).
The motto of this day would be made in the epigraph: "Buy a comic book, or two, or...
Read a comic or two, or...".
On this day, the comic shops urge not to throw the purchased comics, because even the most simple comic, they believe in a few years may become a rarity and decorate any solid collection.
Interestingly, America is not the birthplace of comics.
Comics are an invention of Europeans.
Although, in fairness, it should be said that drawings with short captions — graphic stories have been known since the time immemorial of rock art.
It is also worth noting that the concept of "Comic Book" is common only in the English American lexicon.
And in Russia.
In Russia, because the Soviet Union did not form a national definition of this type of art.

So, experts call several outstanding artists the founders of comics.
In the 18th century, the English painter and graphic artist William Hogarth (1697-1764) wraps a dramatic narrative in a drawing.
The German poet and graphic artist Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908) supplies his poems with a series of drawings, thereby reflecting the storyline of the poetic narrative.
The stories about the adventures of Max and Moritz, created by him in the middle of the 19th century, are still popular today.
The first example of real graphic prose is considered to be a series about the adventures of Dr. Syntax — "The Journey of Dr. Syntax in search of the picturesque" - by the English cartoonist and painter Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827).
The United States actively picked up the genre, and in 1892 the first American comic book "Bears and the Tiger" was published in the Sunday New York World newspaper.
Some sources call the first comic book "The Yellow Child", which appeared in May 1895 in the same newspaper.
The author of both stories is the artist Richard Outkault, who is called one of the first authors of this genre in the United States.
The boom came in the 1920s and 1930s, from which the "golden age of comics" in the New World begins.
Comics are becoming an integral part of popular culture, their genres are expanding — fiction, detective stories, horror, super heroes.
In the heyday of comics, the immortal heroes of the stories "Donald the Duckling" and "Mickey Mouse"were created.
In the mid 50s of the 20th century ,the "Golden Age of comics " is replaced by the" silver", and then, in the early 70s, the" bronze " age.
The themes of modern comics cover literally the entire spectrum of human life: from love to hate, from war to peace.
It is worth noting that another day dedicated to comics is celebrated in the United States — on the first Saturday of May, the Day of Free Comics (Free Comic Book Day) is held.
In other words, this is a commercial campaign designed to attract new fans of comics.
