Comics (via Latin, from the Greek kômikos "of or pertaining to comedy," from kômos "revel") is a graphic medium in which images are utilized in order to convey a sequential narrative. The term-- derived from massive early use to convey comic themes-- came to be applied to all uses of this medium, including those which are far from comic. Most comics combine words with images, often indicating speech in the form of word balloons, but wordless comics are not uncommon.
