HONOLULU (KHON2) — Every year on Sept. 25, comic book fans all over the United States come together to celebrate National Comic Book Day!
This special day is all about enjoying comics, learning about their history and sharing the fun with friends and family.
Comic books are a type of storytelling that combines pictures and words. They often feature superheroes, adventures and fantastical worlds.
Some popular superheroes include Iron Man, Deadpool and Wonder Woman. These stories can be funny, exciting or even a little scary!
Comic books have a long history in America. The first comic book, “Famous Funnies,” was published in 1933. It was a collection of comic strips from newspapers.
In the late 1930s, superheroes became popular. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and he made his debut in 1938. He is often considered the first superhero.
Since then, comic books have grown into a huge industry with many different styles and genres.
National Comic Book Day encourages people of all ages to read comics and appreciate the art of storytelling. Comics can be a great way to improve reading skills since they combine visuals with text.
They also inspire creativity and imagination. Many people enjoy drawing their own comics, which can be a fun way to express themselves!
