Q. Do you think comics are a children’s or adult genre/media?
In my opinion, the comic books, which also named in a modern way-the graphic novel, are both children’s and adult media and genre. Comic books have been a symbol of ‘childish’ in old period and adults are not willing to be caught when they are reading comic books. However, the recent phenomenon indicates that movies and other media adapted from popular comic books have achieved great success, for instance, the ‘iron man’ and ‘The Batman’. When we refer to the benefits for children, comic books take significant roles to help children understand literature since they had a hard time reading text book. According to the new research, reading graphic novels in classrooms have led to discussion and therefor comic books have unexploited potential to improve literacy of children.
I certainly agree with the last comment. Some children learn to read by reading comics. Could we day the comic is maturing, coming of age?
ReplyDeleteHello,Mike.I appreciate your comments on my post. I do think comic is maturing day by day, an astonishing example is Miyazaki's film'Princess Monanoke',which is widely regarded by critics as serious art.
