Why Comics Matter

Comics have always reflected and influenced culture. From Captain America punching Hitler on the cover of his debut issue to modern stories tackling social issues, the medium has never shied away from meaningful content. Today, comics are recognized as legitimate literature, studied in universities and preserved in museums worldwide.

The academic study of comics has grown significantly, with scholars analyzing everything from panel composition to narrative structure. This recognition validates what fans have known all along: comics are a powerful storytelling medium.
