Introduction to comic magazines
Comic magazine is a magazine that mainly publishes comics. Generally speaking, comic magazines are printed on paper that is cheaper and larger than singles. Some pages of Japanese comic magazines are even as rough as newsprint, and printing ink will pollute readers' hands.
European and American comics are often printed in full color, but comic magazines in Japan, China, Taiwan Province Province and Chinese mainland occasionally use color manuscripts except the first few pages, and most of them are black and white manuscripts. Comic magazines are also cheaper than singles in terms of content available at the same cost.
A successful cartoon can sometimes be serialized for several years. Readers who buy comic magazines have the opportunity to enjoy other works or the works of new cartoonists in addition to their favorite works. Therefore, some publishing houses continue to publish regardless of the losses of the periodical department, and subsidize them with single books or other income, partly because of the publicity effect.
On the other hand, regular magazines can realize the interaction between authors and readers by replying letters, and even modify or adjust the original story to cater to the public's preferences.
