The first modern comic book is considered to be "Famous Funnies" published in 1933, which included reprinted comic strips from newspapers. However, the concept of comic strips dates back to the late 19th century.

Who invented the first comic book?

There are different opinions about what was the first comic book because of differing opinions on what is a comic book. Many will give credit to the G. W. Dillingham Company, who in 1897 published a book of reprints of Richard F. Outcault "Yellow Kid" comic strips. The publication was titled The Yellow Kid in McFadden's Flats. However Rodolphe Topffer, of Switzerland, published his comic strips in comic-book form beginning in 1837. So his The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck is considered the earliest known comic book. It was later published in the United States, in 1842, 55 years before the Yellow Kid comic book was published. Please see Related Links for more on the Rodolphe Topffer and his comic books.
