Book Comic Printing Press traces its roots back to prehistoric times. A cave painting from Lascaux in France made circa 170th century BC depicted a prehistoric tribe's hunt for food. Cave painting is recognized to be one of the earlier forms of art that led to the present comic books.

Other art forms leading to the comic book came from Egypt, Greece and even Rome. The Book Comic Printing Press industry at present showcases more suitable medium to comics than cave walls. It used to be that printing of black and white comic books in paperback form was often too risky and expensive to undertake. Right now, some printing companies have the capability to give the prestige of a paperback edition to your book.

There is also the great pptential of profit for comic books with print runs as low as 50 copies. Some also claim to increase long-term exposure in comic shops. Printing only as many as you need, will help keep your inventories low and the funds saved can be used to finance other projects.
