A short 22-44 page book with art panels and speech bubbles, usually with superheroines and such. Usually separated into many individual issues and then collected into trade paperbacks when the stories are done.

Comic books have been around for a long time but really started to be known in 1938 with Action Comics #1, or the first appearance of Superman. Since then comic books have been expanding and growing through different companies and brands.
