Hungary to open comics library for the first time

The history of comics has followed different paths in different cultures. In the 1930s, the first modern comics were released in the United States and had a great success among the younger generation. In European countries, France and Belgium released comics for the first time. Generally, these strips were about heroes with superpowers who save the world from the evil.

According to hvg.hu, Hungary would like to establish this institution because reading comics still seems to be an enjoyable activity. This institution would also like to emphasise that comic books are more than the usual Marvel, Snoopy, DC and Garfield stories. They represent a form of art as well. Its roots come from the middle ages, and it even has a relationship with the cave paintings.

These comics are not only funny and action-packed, but can be emotional, frightening, mysterious, poetic and thought-provoking as well. Because of this wide scale, everyone may find a suitable genre.
