Afilm comic (フィルムコミック,firumu komikku) oranime comic (アニメコミック,anime komikku) is a Japanesemanga volume illustrated with images from ananime series, film, or video release, rather than original custom art. They generally contain the full dialog from the anime from which they are adapted. While usually published inbook form, they are also sometimes released electronically ase-books, occasionally callede-manga. Companies such asTokyopop andViz release film comics under the trademarksCine-manga andAni-manga, respectively.[1]
The technique is similar tophoto comics, many of which use stills from live-action movies or television series to adapt these stories to the comics medium.
Film comics have been well received in English-speaking countries, with some titles selling more than 500,000 copies.[2]
