But did you know he first appeared in ics（連環(huán)漫畫）? Do you want to learn more about popular ic books around the world? Take a look! Do you find reading boring? Have a read of some ic books. You will learn to love their colorful pictures and simple language. Comic books usually tell stories through cartoons. The US and Japan have some great ic books. But they are not the same. Their names are different. People say ic books in the US but manga in Japan. American ics are often about superheroes—characters like Superman and Spider Man. So action is a major part of American ics. But Japanese manga like to tell stories of ordinary people. Luffy in One Piece（《海盜王》）is such an example. Ameri
