Buddy Longway is a western comic book written by the Swiss comic book writer Derib.
 It is published under the Le Lombard publishing house.
 The first issue came out in 1972, and 16 issues were published until 1987 until Derib restarted the series in 2002, continuing with four further issues until 2006, until he announced that the 20th issue, "La Source", would be the last.
A comic book or comicbook, also called comic magazine or simply comic, is a publication that consists of comic art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes.
 Panels are often accompanied by brief descriptive prose and written narrative, usually dialog contained in word balloons emblematic of the comics art form.
 Although comics has some origins in 18th century Japan and 1830s Europe, comic books were first popularized in the United States during the 1930s.
 The first modern comic book, "Famous Funnies", was released in the United States in 1933 and was a reprinting of earlier newspaper humor comic strips, which had established many of the story-telling devices used in comics.
 The term "comic book" derives from American comic books once being a compilation of comic strips of a humorous tone; however, this practice was replaced by featuring stories of all genres, usually not humorous in tone.
In the comic book fan community, the apparent death and subsequent return of a long-running character is often called a comic book death.
 While death is a serious subject, a comic book death is generally not taken seriously in the real world and is rarely permanent or meaningful other than for story or thematic purposes.
 Commenting on the impact and role of comic book character deaths, writer Geoff Johns said:
Noor-ul-Haq ("The light of Truth") is a two-part Arabic book written by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in 1894.
 It consists of both prose and poetry.
 The first part was written in refutation of a book written by Padre Imad Ud-Din Lahiz, a Christian preacher who had apostatised from Islam.
 The second part was written with regards to the solar and lunar eclipses which took place in 1894.
 With the publication of the book Ghulam Ahmad issued an advertisement with a reward of rs5,000 to anyone who could produce its like in terms of literary style.
Lucas "Snapper" Carr is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
 The character, whose fictional nickname is almost always used by other characters in favor of his given name, was created by Gardner Fox (writer) and Mike Sekowsky (penciller), and made his first appearance in "The Brave and the Bold" in February 1960.
 From 1960 to 1969, Snapper Carr appeared as a supporting character to the Justice League of America, a superhero team.
 The character occasionally appeared in comics featuring the Justice League from 1969 to 1989, when the "Invasion!
" limited-series comic book gave him superpowers.
 He was associated with a new superhero team, The Blasters, in various comics until 1993, when he lost his powers and became a main character in the "Hourman" comic book.
 After the cancellation of "Hourman" in April 2001, he became a main character in the "Young Justice" comic book beginning in December 2001.
 "Young Justice" was cancelled in May 2003, and he became associated with the governmental organization Checkmate, a role revealed when the character played a small but important role in the 2007-2008 limited series comic book "52 Aftermath: The Four Horsemen".
 The character made major appearances in "Final Crisis: Resist" in December 2008 and "Justice League of America 80-Page Giant" in November 2009.

Osiedle Swoboda is a Polish comic book written and illustrated by Michał Śledziński.
 It was supposed to imitate American comic books such as Spider-Man.
 The first issues appeared in the papers of "Produkt" magazine and since 2004 it has been published separately by Niezależna Prasa.
 It consists of 6 issues; the final bimonthly issue was published in 2006.
 A prototype of "Swoboda" is the estate Szwederowo in Bydgoszcz – the home estate of the author himself.
 The comic book reflects customs of youth living back in the 1990s, and therefore is considered one of the most important comic books published in Poland.
 The abundance of insightful social observations deftly intertwined with the plot contributed to the fame and popularity of the series among young readers: “If I was to mention the most important Polish comic series published at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, I would instantly answer that Osiedle Swoboda has no equals” was how the series was described in "Gazeta Wyborcza" by Wojciech Orliński.
