Abstract

Cultural legitimacy has eluded comics until recent times. By observing the history of comics in the three major regions -- Japan, Europe, and America -- a difference in how American comics achieved legitimacy becomes apparent. American comics owe the majority of the cultural legitimacy they received to independent comics movements.
