 Ever since comics first appeared, there have been people who have criticized them. In the 1940s and 50s, many people believed that comics were immoral and that they caused bad behavior among young people. Even today, many argue that reading comics encourages bad reading habits.

 However, some educators nowadays see comics as a way to get teenagers to choose reading instead of watching television or playing video games. And because of the art, a number of educators have argued that comics are a great way to get children to think creatively. More recent research has suggested that the combination of visuals and text in comics may be one reason young people handle computers and related software so easily.

 Professor Carol Tilley of Illinois University said that children benefit from reading them as much as they do from reading other kinds of books. She said, “A lot of the criticisms of comics come from people who think that kids are just looking at pictures and not putting them together with the words. But you could easily make some of the same criticisms of picture books that kids are just looking at pictures, and not at the words. Although they’ve long accepted picture books as appropriate children’s literature, many adults quickly dismiss the usefulness of comics as books for young readers. Any book can be good and any book can be bad, to some extent. It’s up to the reader’s personality and ability. As a whole, comics are just another medium. And if you really consider how the pictures and words work together to tell a story, you can make the case that comics are just as complex as any other kind of literature.” In fact, the combination of the pictures and words in comics can open up a new way of thinking.
