    Evolution of Comics
    In the early years comic books were regulated to ensure that nothing sexual, offensive or unpatriotic made it onto the pages or into the minds of their young readers. This regulation was the job of the Comics Code.

    Genres
    We all know about superhero comics, but the western, sci-fi, fantasy, horror and noir are just some of the other genres that are available to readers.
