comic

Eine gezeichnete Geschichte mit Bildern und wenig Text, die oft lustig oder spannend ist.

The German word "Comic" (borrowed from English) is a noun that refers to a comic or comic strip, i.e., a series of illustrated panels that tell a story, often humorous or related to superheroes.

  • It comes directly from the English word "comic" meaning "funny" or "humorous," but in German it primarily refers to the medium of comics.

Similar German words:

  • "Comicstreifen" (comic strip)
  • "Grafische Erzählung" (graphic narrative)
  • "Comicheft" (comic book)

Differences:

  • "Comic" is a general, concise term, while "Comicstreifen" specifically refers to short strips.
  • "Comicheft" emphasizes the printed booklet format, unlike "Comic," which can be broader (including digital).
