They are typically presented in a series of panels, each containing a portion of the story.

The origins of sarjakkeet can be traced back to ancient cave paintings and scrolls, but the modern form of comics emerged in the late 19th century. The term "comics" is derived from the French word "comique," which means humorous. Early comics were often used for political satire and social commentary.

Sarjakkeet have evolved significantly over time, with different styles and genres emerging. Some popular genres include superhero comics, fantasy, science fiction, horror, and slice-of-life stories. Notable examples of sarjakkeet include "Maus" by Art Spiegelman, which explores the Holocaust through graphic storytelling, and "Watchmen" by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, which is known for its complex narrative and exploration of themes such as power, corruption, and identity.

Sarjakkeet have gained significant popularity in recent years, with a growing audience and a thriving industry. They are enjoyed by readers of all ages and backgrounds, and have been adapted into various forms of media, including films, television shows, and video games. Sarjakkeet continue to be a vibrant and influential form of storytelling, offering a unique blend of visual and written narrative.
