Origins of The Term
The term was coined in 1985 by comics artist Will Eisner in his book Comics and Sequential Art. Eisner analyzed this form into four elements: design, drawing, caricature, and writing. Scott McCloud, another comics artist, elaborated the explanation further, in his books Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics.

Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:

Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato

Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”

To point the term of human strife,
And on the low dark verge of life
The twilight of eternal day.”
