manga

I've been thinking of manga recently. Or generally, comic books and graphic novels.

manga started in japan in the late 1800's.. way before cubism and split screen. earlier manga was like an entire story on a single sheet (scroll).

the concept is not the same as split screen though. its more like a film in a series of images, like a storyboard. its also episodal, like tv series.

i did find this image though, which could be synonymous with split screen. its from a relatively newer manga called akira. (started in 1982)
