What is a "film comic"?

A film comic is basically a comic book using footage of the actual anime instead of original artwork.

They're not just books of cells. They're paneled and have speech balloons like comic books using actual stills. I think Disney does that now, but I never seen the Nimh ones.

Here's a Macross one.

They're also known here in the US as "Animanga" or "Cinemanga" for live action stuff -- Tokyopop's been releasing a lot of them for the kiddies, using non-anime properties like Spongebob or Lizzie McGuire.

Film comics have been around for a long time here in the States. I remember buying a couple of Star Trek related ones when I was kid.

I actually have three of them (Amok Time, Trouble With Tribbles and Devil in the Dark) -- bought them at a library book sale once.

I dunno then.

I thought you meant the stuff like the Spiderman collection.

those are just scans of the pages, covers and articles within the comic books. Not interactive or anyone reading. There's one for Uncanny X-Men also.

The one comic per disk might be interactive. Marvel does those too. Sometimes they have limited flash animation.
