Comic Glossary
Origin Story
An origin story explains how a character became who they are — typically a comic's first issue and a major emotional anchor.
Spider-Man's radioactive spider, Batman's parents, the Fantastic Four's cosmic-ray flight — origin stories give heroes their meaning. A QuickComic personalized comic naturally functions as an origin story for the child star.
