Comic book art is a visual storytelling medium that combines illustrations and text to convey narratives. Artists use a variety of techniques, including line work, color, and shading, to create dynamic characters and settings. The art is often presented in panels, guiding the reader through the story in a sequential format. The style of comic book art can vary widely, from the detailed realism seen in works by artists like Alex Ross to the more stylized approaches of Jack Kirby. This diversity allows for a broad range of genres, including superhero, fantasy, and horror, appealing to different audiences.
