Journal of English Language Teaching , Volume 64 Number 1 : January - February 2022 ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** Abstract: Previously dismissed as an escapist reading matter, comics have evolved from a temporary novelty to a very dominant visual form of modern popular culture worldwide. They have later on come to be treated as serious literature that reveals a lot about the culture and other aspects related to it. Comics have a language of their own- the language of visual art. The paper makes an effort to study it as a separate and distinguishable genre, providing an illuminating discussion on the relationship between words and pictures. comics | visual language | layout | image-text relation | representation | format https://journals.eltai.in/index.php/jelt/article/view/JELT640103 PER 0 0 0 0 RIEBPL RIEBPL 2024-03-01 0 2024-03-01 00:00:00 2024-03-01 PER 45468 45467
