Introdução às Histórias em Quadrinhos

Abstract

Comic books have become one of the greatest sources for Hollywood film adaptations. However, its own consumption has become increasingly greater. This is all related to the adaptive potential of sequential narratives. These narratives have their own characteristics that, holistically, encompass both the visual and the non-visual. In this way, comic books can be understood as encyclopedic narratives whose adaptability is expanding at the same speed as cyberspace. This work aims to didactically explore some of the main characteristics of comic books in the context of sequential language. Its authors were invited to reflect more deeply on concepts that are still little known to the public. Among these concepts, it is worth highlighting speech bubbles, signs and frames. Therefore, we invite everyone, everyone, to enter the particularities that make up comic books and, perhaps, better understand the artistic skills of cartoonists.
