Summary/Abstract: The text includes sociological analysis of, inter alia, the most important element of any comic – the process of emergence of comic book heroes, which have existed in various forms in the world of fictional narratives and fine arts for more than a century. There has long been a need for a scientific approach to this artistic field, one that would not “release comics from the rule of concept” but would take a bolder approach to these highly creative processes that produce the subject who preoccupies the comic with a certain, primarily aesthetic and educational value. Comics as a medium successfully respond to challenges posed by increasingly technology-driven everyday life and, through the process of adaptation to new cultural needs, strive to keep their artistic integrity. With their original mnemonics and quality in terms of style, concept and visual content, comics have successfully secured their place in a multi-complex art world.
