I researched comic called "The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck" which is considered to be first comic book it was published 1837. It was forty page book each page had several pictures with accompanying text underneath.
It was created by Rudolf Topffer from Switzerland.
This comic started a whole new way of story telling which is realy focused on visual representation of a story.
The artwork is simple (black and white). Comic shows how people were dressing at the time comic was made. I wasn't been able to find much info about this comic but from the looks of it i think that commic takes place in middle ages and its influenced by comic like caricatures in newspapers, cards and books. Here is an example of such drawing.
I think comics had a realy positive impact on people of that time becouse it had biger apeal than books and illiteracy of people of that time were high so comics surved as a good tool for teaching people to read.
