Each scene often includes descriptive prose and written narratives. When placed together, the panels form a complete story or a portion of a serial.

The earliest comic strips, (which later gave birth to comic books), displayed dialogue in bubbles or balloons above characters’ heads. As an art form, the designs can be quite intricate. For example, text, dialogue, personalities, color, and imagery all enhance part of a storyline. Over time, these storylines also distinguish eras, artists, genres, and themes. People who collect comic books are known as pannapictagraphist. The term “comic book” comes from the first book sold as a book reprinted of humorous comic strips.
