Prestige Format
American comic book tropes are common elements and literary devices related to American comic books. Continuity Comics continuity almost-always refers to the existence and use of a shared universe, although any comic can have internal continuity independent of this. Simply, the term describes a consistency of internal plot, and usually of characterisation and external references also. Initially, many comics were stand alone, "done in one" stories with a beginning and end taking place within the confines of a single comic issue, often structured in chapters as are most novels. Over time, the comics companies realised the lucrative potential of the crossover comic, whereby other characters from a company's shared universe appeared in issues of each other's comics. (This ultimately led to the formation of "team" books such as the ''Justice Society of America'', ''Justice League of America'' and ''Avengers''.) During these crossover character interactions, editorial footnotes would ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
