COMIC BOOKS OVERPOWERED BY CARTOON SERIALS

Comic book is a way of graphically presenting a story by characters their expressions and activities.

Comic are not just for kids to read but many adults are avid readers and collectors of comics.

What allures you to a comic may not match that of another person.

The cover art, the well-crafted story, the genre of the comic (violence, blood thirst, love and others), the background of the character or may be the portrayal of the comic in a cartoon serial.

Or may be some reason or other you may be why you pick up a comic book from the seller and start reading.

Comics have been the go to entertainments for generations of youngsters.

Even if you do not have a knack for reading novels they were not unlikely to be comic strip fans.

What draws these fan boys most to reading and collecting tons of comics over the years is the art embossed deep within the story and the characters of the comic.

Over the years the influx of the digital cartoon serials has stolen the show for the comic books.

The sale of comic books and the number of enthusiastic collectors have drastically gone down in the era of digitization.

The purchase and collection of the comics have dropped down in the rung of priorities.

Thinking about rents to pay, a car to keep, eating out and other materialistic necessities are more on the mind of people than finding solace in the pages of comic books.

The only thing that is keeping the comic books in the circle is the blockbusters that are being made.

The comic book industry is slowly waning and it’s just the movies that are keeping the dying industry alive.

As the generations are progressing the understanding for the comic books and the pleasure that they can give is slowly going down.

With the coming of television industry where this popular cartoon characters are seen on screen make the viewer more engrossed towards it.

Viewing actually over powered reading to some extent.

But there are many aspects which make a comic book far better than a cartoon serial as the comic writers put lots of effort on writing skills.

Over the years there have been amazing writers and illustrators like Alan Moore, Grant Morison, and others.

These men and women were known to spend hours in a room while they toiled at a desk bend over and painting, sketching and drawing cartoon and creating characters for us to see because they understood the needs of their readers.

Even though these group of people were the ones who were always known to be bullied in school, broke and hungry for days.

The artists these days go about roaming in limousines and drinking costly elegant drinks liking the life of nothing less than a movie star.

The illustrators in those days had ink stains and graphite smudges as a part and parcel of their existence and comic strips of the like of X-men were just a distant dream for them.

The end is near for the comic book industry as the desire to hold, cherish the smell and feel, read and collect the comic books is going down and fading day by day.

The digital media and the cartoon serials have grown very alluring for people as they bring to the kids and adults the feel of Hollywood action.

The comic book fans are being slowly and meticulously vanquished day by day by the entertainment industry.

In spite of knowing the beauty of the comic books people are slowly surrendering to the clarion calls of the digital mayhem.

Its natures rule that the big fishes always eat the smaller fishes.

Something is always eating up something else and that is exactly the case in the world of comic books where they are being eaten up by the bigger fishes of the cartoon serial world.

It is human nature to not dwell in the past and the technological advances are admired by all. Thus digital media is being increasingly favored these days.

The comic books are an alloy of the story teller with the story as well as with the commonality of the illustrators who created the characters.

All the comic books that are present have been created to fulfill the visceral need to hold on read something which is a result of hours of handmade drawings.

The digital media is very attractive and interactive but it lacks the personal touch.

The cartoon serials are found to make connections with the mass in a very cold and numerical manner.

The synchronicity and disconnect is making us lose the love that was felt in every page of a graphic comic.

Nowadays the hero mystique of the cartoon serials is ubiquitous all over the world and is easily spit out like chewing gum.

The forge and creativity is being lost and replaced with an addiction for hours of watching the television mindlessly.

The comic book characters were brainchild of the comic artists’ imagination.

They were seen to arise from mythology, literature, religion and were sketched keeping in mind their original depiction in history.

The comic books told a story with which a person and even the kids could relate to.

Digitalization has made the advent of cartoon serials which are hard to relate to and good for a one time watch but are never evergreen.

The characters like Spiderman, those from the X-men series and various others where imagined in one particular way when they were seen on the pages of comics.

However when they got depicted on the screen it was easy to spot the differences and they had a cold perfection to them which was beyond imagination.

Thus the choice about the popularity of comic books over cartoon serials is an open and shut case as it is evident from the hours that children spend in looking at the television screen that the love for reading is lost and will be very hard to revive.

However even then comic books can out do the cold menacing attractiveness of the cartoon serials any day if they are again done in the right way.
