Hypercomics

Hypercomics

Hypercomics refer to a variation of webcomics, whereby animation, as opposed to static frames, is employed. While traditional, multi-frame comics have been posted on the Internet as drawings scanned into digital media or even drawn entirely on computer, hypercomics differ in that they allow for animation within their frames.

Because the comic strip had already established the convention of presentation in a series of frames, hypercomics tend to follow with use of multiple frames, making it disparate from regular animation, which often manifests itself on the internet in the single frame of Macromedia Flash movies. Other augmentations that internet-publishing has lended to hypercomics are the use of sound, the lack of spatial limitation, non-linear presentation of plot/idea, and feedback between artist and audience. However, since hypercomics are in essence a subset of comics in general, conventions such as speech bubbles, onomatopoeic word art, and recurring characters can be found.
