Abstract :

 This paper attempts to identify the role of comics in the literary tradition of India. It presents an overview of how comics try to influence children and adults. Comics had the disadvantage of having been considered as lowow literature. They were looked down and people who associated with them were scorned. This trend has changed steadily. Initially, comics gained acceptance by its inclusion into the realm of children. Later, comics became a part of popular literature and increasingly it has been deemed fit to join the mainstream literature. This paper attempts to explore the possibility of comics as a tool for educating moral values and development in language learning. The uniqueness of comics as stories with visual images makes it a great medium to be used for the instruction of moral values in children. Similar to play–way method of education, comics showcase moral values in an attractive package. This charm of comics can be very effective when applied to the education of second language learners. Learning a new language can be made more palatable with the aid of visual imagery and simple sentences. This paper is an attempt to state the possibilities of comics as a visual and literary aid to children and adults.
