Author : Anamika Shukla

Abstract

This research paper explores the rich history and evolution of comics as a transformative narrative medium. Beginning with the early pictorial storytelling traditions, the paper examines the global milestones that shaped comics into a cultural and artistic force. The study delves into the unique trajectory of Indian comics, tracing their roots from Indrajal Comics and Amar Chitra Katha to the modern innovations of Graphic India and independent publishers. The research also investigates the profound influence of comics on literary writing, emphasizing their role in reshaping narrative structures, blending text with visuals, and fostering empathy through complex storytelling. Finally, the paper examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the comics industry, focusing on AI's role in streamlining creative processes, enhancing visual artistry, and introducing interactive and immersive storytelling experiences. While acknowledging challenges like ethical concerns and artistic authenticity, the paper envisions a future where comics continue to thrive as a dynamic and inclusive medium.
