Well. This was happened in ancient times actually. Yes it is surprising to know that in ancient times, like Greek gods and superheroes. Here people had drawn also with many significant positions. But after long span of time the images drawn with narrative came into existence.

Here that has been the long and rough period for publishers and artists of comic books. Here we have seen X-men and spider man comics; I have also read them many times. In 90s comic books were the top most for entertainment and readers paid a lot to buy comics.
But as the time passes by and technology trend and its applications raised the level of cartoons. Now all the comic characters can be easily seen on television, almost all the characters have their own movie series as well. And makers and producers gained revenue and awards as well.
