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.
