Fox Fridays: Silent Comics
Silent comics, also known as wordless comics or pantomime comics, are comics without text in captions or word balloons. The genre is popular because of its accessibility. Silent comics don’t require translation so they are able to reach a wide audience regardless of nationality. Silent comics also allow for a more visual experience, where the actual meaning of events being depicted are left up to the reader to interpret.
