Manhua
() are Chinese-language comics produced in China and Taiwan. Whilst Chinese comics and narrated illustrations have existed in China in some shape or form throughout its imperial history, the term first appeared in 1904 in a comic titled ''Current Affairs Comics'' () in the Shanghai-based newspaper ''Jingzhong Daily'' (). Etymology The word was originally an 18th-century term used in Chinese literati painting. It became popular in Japan as ''manga'' in the late 19th century. Feng Zikai reintroduced the word to Chinese, in the modern sense, with his 1925 series of political cartoons entitled ''Zikai Manhua'' in the ''Wenxue Zhoubao'' (Literature Weekly). While terms other than had existed before, this particular publication took precedence over the many other descriptions for cartoon art that were used previously and came to be associated with all Chinese comic materials. The Chinese characters for are identical to those used for the Japanese ''manga'' and Korean manhwa. S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Action-adventure Comics
The action-adventure genre is a video game hybrid genre that combines core elements from both the action game and adventure game genres. Typically, pure adventure games have situational problems for the player to solve to complete a storyline, involving very little to no action. If there is action, it is generally confined to isolated instances. Pure action games have gameplay based on real-time interactions that challenges the player's reflexes and eye–hand coordination. Action-adventure games combine these genres by engaging both reflexes and eye–hand coordination and problem-solving skills. Definition An action adventure game can be defined as a game with a mix of elements from an action game and an adventure game, especially crucial elements like puzzles. Action-adventures require many of the same physical skills as action games, but also offer a storyline, numerous characters, an inventory system, dialogue, and other features of adventure games. They are faster-pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Science Fiction Comics
Publication of comic strips and comic books focusing on science fiction became increasingly common during the early 1930s in newspapers published in the United States. They have since spread to many countries around the world. History The first science fiction comic was the gag cartoon ''Mr. Skygack, from Mars'' by A.D. Condo, which debuted in newspapers in 1907. The first non-humorous science fiction comic strip, ''Buck Rogers'', appeared in 1929, and was based on a story published that year in Amazing Stories. It was quickly followed by others in the genre, such as ''Flash Gordon'', ''Brick Bradford'', and the British strip ''Dan Dare''. This influence spread to comic books, in which science fiction themes became increasingly more popular; one title was ''Planet Comics''. With the introduction of ''Superman'', the superhero genre was born, which often included science fiction elements. EC Comics had success and popularity in publishing science fiction comics of increasing co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
