In China those are very different. They are called Little People's Books and are rectangular and literally pocket sized. Yes, I was crazy about them and always wanting to buy new ones.
Well, they actually do have good stories, in my opinion. And if you consider a lot of last best selling action movies, I'm not the only one with that opinion; Well, apart from that, they don't provide for my favourite kind of movies, but we're getting off topic.
The contents in our books were very different. No fantasy and no words inside the pictures. The words that tell the story are printed underneath the picture. One frame in one page so you keep flipping. And there are all sorts of drawing and painting styles.
It was interesting to hearing about the Little People's Books. A friend of mine who grew up in Taiwan said she was crazy about Martial Arts books growing up. I asked her if she liked films like the one's Bruce Lee did, and she said no, she liked the wuxia genre.

Nice capture.
A picture does indeed say more than a thousand words.

Still envious of the comic books he readily bought her.

Actually, the smiles you have shown here, can easily compete.
You like comic books?
