Drawn Worlds
Ten questions on the drawn characters and studios that shaped a century of storytelling, each with the context behind it.
About this topic
Comics and animation produced some of the most recognisable characters ever created, usually well ahead of the recognition the forms themselves received. This quiz covers the origins of those characters, the studios that built them, and the techniques behind each era's look. It deliberately spans three traditions, American superhero comics, European albums and Japanese manga and anime, because they grew up separately. The explanations flag what was new at the time, technically or commercially.
