Comics... Most people would agree they are "Literature" for children and geeks/nerds. Remember, if you get stuck on the words, you can always just look at the pictures and they might even help you work out what's going on. If you're really lucky - there might even be pictures of tits.
Comics, like human bodies, come in many shapes and sizes er, types and formats, and here at ED, we are proud to provide the free public service of explaining these different comic formats to you. So pay attention, you absolute Plebian.
