Insectoids In Science Fiction And Fantasy

Most frequently, insect-like or spider-like extraterrestrial life forms is meant; in such cases convergent evolution may presumably be responsible for the existence of such creatures. Occasionally, an earth-bound setting — such as in the film '' The Fly'' (1958), in which a scientist is accidentally transformed into a grotesque human–fly hybrid, or Kafka's famous novella ''The Metamorphosis'' (1915), which does not bother to explain how a man becomes an enormous insect — is the venue. Etymology The term ''insectoid'' denotes any creature or object that shares a similar body or traits with common earth insects and arachnids.

American Comic Book
An American comic book is a thin periodical literature originating in the United States, commonly between 24 and 64 pages, containing comics. While the form originated in 1933, American comic books first gained popularity after the 1938 publication of ''Action Comics'', which included the debut of the superhero Superman. This was followed by a superhero boom that lasted until the end of World War II. After the war, while superheroes were marginalized, the comic book industry rapidly expanded and genres such as horror, crime, science fiction and romance became popular.
