comic art
Drawn narrative panels
Comic art is visual storytelling through sequential images, typically combining drawings with text in panels.
The term encompasses comic strips, comic books, graphic novels, and manga.
Comic art relies on distinctive conventions: speech balloons, motion lines, panel borders, and exaggerated expressions.
Once dismissed as juvenile, it's now recognized as a legitimate art form: The museum's comic art exhibition drew record crowds.
