Comic books have been around for many decades. We all have grown up with them. However, it is clear that comic book reading habits are declining with the rise of other entertainment options. Children have many more entertainment options, including television, the Internet, and CDs. Comic books and their characters are still very popular with both children and adults. You can also buy comics in French(also known as bd en franais in the French language)via many online sources.

Their popularity can be seen in the many comic heroes who have been made into blockbusters by Hollywood. Spiderman, Superman, Punisher, Batman? These superheroes are successful in real versions of every type of film.

Comic book shops can also be found everywhere, just like comic books. A quality comic book will have hundreds, if certainly thousands, of comics for you to choose from. They are easy to find, and many serve generations of families. Online comic book shopping is also possible. Online comic shops stock thousands of comics. Bundled offers can be found in the form of games and comic books. 

Comic book shops may also offer digital comics, which can be easy to use and interactive. Comic book shops were at their best during the "golden era of comics", which was the 1940s and 1950s when many of the most famous superheroes appeared in comics. Online comic shopping is possible, but going to a comic shop in person to purchase comics has its charm.

Comic cons are usually one-to-three-day events at which comic book dealers trade in a particular city. You can also buy comic books at these events. Comic cons were very popular in the 1970s, but they aren't as popular now as they once were due to the rise of the Internet and the consequent increase in sales of comic books via it.
