Adapt Or Die - Fashionable Graphic Novels And Comics Proceed To Thrive In The New Century

Graphic novels and comics have been enjoyed by young and old for over seventy years. The medium has begun to see substantial changes in the new digital age. As the kids of the 50s and 60s grew older, they continued to hold the interest in comics and graphic novels so the characters grew with them.

Comic book characters rarely age and when they do it's to incorporate a unique plot device. If a costume change comes about, it is usually to fulfill a plot line or as a means of adding new life to a series. Apart from the most popular and enduring characters in the genre, many heroes and villains have made the costume change as a way of generating interest in their books.
