A motion comic (or animated comic) is a form of animation combining elements of print comic books and animation. Individual panels are expanded into a full shot while sound effects, voice acting, and animation are added to the original artwork. Text boxes and sound effect bubbles are typically removed to feature more of the original artwork being animated. Motion comics are often released as short serials covering a story arc of a long running series or animating a single release of a graphic novel. Single release issues of a story arc are converted into ten to twenty minute long episodes depending on content. ==History== The earliest examples of motion comics are found in independent creations such as ''Broken Saints'' (2001). However, the concept was fully outlined in the mid-1960s by science fiction author Philip K. Dick in his novel ''The Zap Gun'', an expansion of his novella ''Project Plowshare'', which was written in 1964 and first published as a serial in the November 1965 and January 1966 issues of ''Worlds Of Tomorrow'' magazine. In Dick's novel, weapon designers of the future are mediums, who create their new designs in trance states. The weapon designs are extracted telepathically from a motion comic book, ''The Blue Cephalopod Man from Titan'', created by mad Italian artist Oral Giacomini. Dick describes both the storyline and the animated panels of this comic book in detail. In 2005, Lions Gate released an animated version of the ''Saw: Rebirth'' comic, one of the first examples of an animated comic created to tie into a film franchise. The first major motion comics released, which is also the first use of the term "motion comic," were released by Warner Bros., the owner of DC Comics to coincide with the film premieres of ''The Dark Knight'' and ''Watchmen'', releasing an adaptation of ''Batman: Mad Love'' and ''Watchmen: Motion Comics'', adapting the comic book of the same name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Watchmen Motion Comic )〕 In 2010 a motion comic called ''Inception: The Cobol Job'' was released as prequel and prologue to the movie Inception.〔http://econsultancy.com/us/blog/6277-inception-multichannel-marketing-that-works-like-a-dream〕〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik0mpATaV9k〕 In 2012 a prequel motion comic of the movie Dredd was made to show the origins of the movie's main antagonist, Ma-Ma. Marvel Comics has released motion comics using a company owned by Neal Adams. The first release was an adaptation of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's ''Astonishing X-Men'': "Gifted". Other adaptations include ''Spider-Woman'': "Agent of S.W.O.R.D.", ''Iron Man'': "Extremis", Black Panther, ''Thor/Loki: Blood Brothers'', and ''Astonishing X-Men'': "Dangerous". Examples from other companies include ''Peanuts Motion Comics'', ''Zits'' Motion Comics, the ''Dead Space'' prequel comics and the "Lucy" element of the ABC News documentary ''Earth 2100''. Another example would be a four-part motion comic based on the ''Uncharted'' video game series as a prequel called ''Eye of Indra'', released for the PlayStation Network. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Motion comic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
