Comic heroes and comic icons...
Comic heroes or icons vary from publisher to publisher. There are many types of publisher most British comics are made up of small blocks and shapes, very simple and easy to draw. American comics are slightly harder to draw and have more complex storylines. There is another style of comic that is originally from Japan and this style is Manga, this style of comic has very detailed drawings and a very extravagant storyline.
The UK’s main publisher and probably the most successful comic publisher is the beano, the beano has been publishing comics since 30th July 1938. The beano didn’t have a very wide range characters but has still managed to keep publishing to the current day, in total there was four characters in the beano, “The bash street kids”, “Minnie the minx”, “Rodger the dodger”, and “Dennis the menace”. The public took allot of interest in Dennis and his antics over the weeks and slowly started to capture almost every young boy’s imagination. Now almost 70 years later Dennis the menace is still being published and now has its own television programme. Most children have a strong interest in these comics.
