On September 25, 1837, Swiss schoolmaster Rodolphe Töpffer created the character Obadiah Oldbuck and chose to tell a story to his friends in a unique format. His primary motivation was his poor eyesight, and he had trouble reading the words, so he created the first storyboard with images and text beneath.
His book was the first time anyone had put pictures and words together, which changed storytelling. Töpffer referred to his picture stories as "little follies."
Upon publishing, the little follies became an instant hit. The idea quickly spread throughout Europe and the Americas. From the first little follies, the comic strip and later, the graphic novels and then finally video games, would be born.
National Comic Book Day marks the anniversary of the creation of the first comic book. The best way to celebrate is to cuddle up with your favorite graphic novel and dig in.
