New Comix Section opens @hj
I am proud to announce the opening of COMIX@HJ
Every day BILLIONS of people worldwide read and understand the visual-story medium that is known as "COMICS" in the western world. In other countries and cultures they're called manga, manhwa, bande dessinee or BD, komiks, bilderstreifen or bildergeschichter, historietas, quadrinhos or HQ, tabeos, foto novela, fumetti, or by some other term. But no matter the name, comics are the world's most widely read and popular form of literature!
Fifteen million Spider-Man comics are sold each year in 75 countries and in 22 languages, and the comic strip appears in 500 newspapers worldwide.
The Garfield comic strip is distributed to over 2,600 newspapers worldwide. An estimated 263 million readers see Garfield each day in 63 countries with translations in 23 languages.
The most read Christian writer is not C. S. Lewis, Frank Peretti, or Billy Graham. It's someone who has more readers than all of these authors combined. It's Johnny Hart, one of the most widely syndicated cartoonist in the world. He draws two well-known comic strips, B.C. and Wizard of Id, which reach some 100 million readers worldwide every day.
Comix are an important part of Pop-Culture. And now Comix is a regular part of HJ!!
