I suspect most visitors to FA will be expert comic fans, and will have no need of anything along these lines, but a couple of years ago I wrote a lengthy series of short articles for the superb Freaky Trigger aimed at people with a bit of interest in comics but not much knowledge, since I knew some people around that site who fitted into that category. Obviously it is far from comprehensive, and readers from here will find it overexplains some things. Still, it may be that some of the entries would be of interest to some of you, and most of you won’t have already seen it, so, some links:
