Q: Context: Superman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, high school students living in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933. They sold Superman to Detective Comics, the future DC Comics, in 1938. Superman debuted in "Action Comics" #1 (cover-dated June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, newspaper strips, television programs, films, and video games. With this success, Superman helped to create the superhero archetype and establish its primacy within the American comic book. The character is also referred to by such epithets as the Man of Steel, the Man of Tomorrow, and The Last Son of Krypton., Rodolphe Töpffer (31 January 1799  8 June 1846) was a Swiss teacher, author, painter, cartoonist, and caricaturist. He is best known for his illustrated books ("littérature en estampes", "graphic literature"), which can be seen as the earliest European comics., A comic strip is a sequence of drawings arranged in interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons and captions. Traditionally, throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, these have been published in newspapers and magazines, with horizontal strips printed in black-and-white in daily newspapers, while Sunday newspapers offered longer sequences in special color comics sections. With the development of the internet, they began to appear online as web comics.
There were more than 200 different comic strips and daily cartoon panels in American newspapers alone each day for most of the 20th century, for a total of at least 7,300,000 episodes., In modern popular fiction, a superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a type of costumed heroic character who possesses supernatural or superhuman powers and who is dedicated to fighting crime, protecting the public, and usually battling supervillains. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine (also rendered super-heroine or super heroine). Fiction centered on such characters, especially in American comic books since the 1930s, is known as superhero fiction., A comic book or comicbook, also called comic magazine or simply comic, is a publication that consists of comic art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes. Panels are often accompanied by brief descriptive prose and written narrative, usually dialog contained in word balloons emblematic of the comics art form. Although some origins in 18th century Japan and 1830s Europe, comic books were first popularized in the United States during the 1930s. The first modern comic book, "Famous Funnies", was released in the United States in 1933 and was a reprinting of earlier newspaper humor comic strips, which had established many of the story-telling devices used in comics. The term "comic book" derives from American comic books once being a compilation of comic strips of a humorous tone; however, this practice was replaced by featuring stories of all genres, usually not humorous in tone., Jacques Laudy ( 7 April 1907 -- 28 July 1993 ) was a Belgian comics artist who contributed to the early issues of the weekly Tintin magazine . Jacques Laudy was born in Schaarbeek in 1907 as the son of the painter Jean Laudy . He worked mainly as a painter , illustrator , and comics artist . Laudy started his career as an artist for Bravo magazine that , like Spirou magazine , was one of the leading Belgian comics publications before and during World War II. One of the other artists there was Edgar Pierre Jacobs , who had first met Laudy in the 1920s and who would become a lifelong friend . Laudy was the physical example for Blake , one of the main characters of Jacobs ' Blake and Mortimer . Hergé asked Laudy as one of the first artists , together with Jacobs , Paul Cuvelier , and Jacques van Melkebeke , to fill the new Tintin magazine . Laudy created The Legend of the Four Aymon Brothers . His only real series was Hassan et Kadour , while the rest of his oeuvre consisted mainly of one - offs , stories that did n't belong in a series . This lack of a series and lack of album publication also meant that Laudy never became as well known as the others . In 1992 , he was the focus of a retrospective exhibition at the Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art. His main interest outside art was music . From 1928 on , he was a collector and maker of pipes , mainly Scottish ones . An instrument made by him in 1940 is in the collection of the Musical Instrument Museum of Brussels ., The history of comics has followed different paths in different cultures. Scholars have posited a pre-history as far back as the Lascaux cave paintings. By the mid-20th century, comics flourished particularly in the United States, western Europe (especially in France and Belgium), and Japan. The history of European comics is often traced to Rodolphe Töpffer's cartoon strips of the 1830s, and became popular following the success in the 1930s of strips and books such as "The Adventures of Tintin". American comics emerged as a mass medium in the early 20th century with the advent of newspaper comic strips; magazine-style comic books followed in the 1930s, in which the superhero genre became prominent after Superman appeared in 1938. Histories of Japanese comics and cartooning ("") propose origins as early as the 12th century. Modern comic strips emerged in Japan in the early 20th century, and the output of comics magazines and books rapidly expanded in the post-World War II era with the popularity of cartoonists such as Osamu Tezuka. had a lowbrow reputation for much of its history, but towards the end of the 20th century began to find greater acceptance with the public and in academia., Subject: jacques laudy, Relation: country_of_citizenship, Options: (A) american (B) belgium (C) france (D) japan (E) teacher
