NATIONAL COMIC BOOK DAY

Did you know that the television show "The Walking Dead" got its start as a comic book?  Batman.  Superman.  Archie.  They all have comic books focused on them too.  The first "real" comic book is believe to have appeared in the US in 1933, and was called Famous Funnies.  Despite the name, comic books are not always funny, as many tend to teeter on the darker, more serious side.  

Celebrate this day by reading the small comics in a daily newspaper or purchasing a comic book from your local bookstore.  You can even check one out at your favorite library!
