A writer or an author, a character that identifies "right" creates a series of his adventures. The series is a rather widespread, and guarantees a certain security, a think tank from which to draw, since there is always a defined structure in which to make things happen. The cartoon, usually, it is always serial of any kind and, while in the serial novels for the most part apply to yellow. The difference is that, while the comic book characters such as the time is frozen, there is an evolution in the novels. The characters drawn are always the same: the Peanuts are always children, Tintin still a teenager, Dylan Dog has always 33/35 years. I've always dressed the same way (except of course if they have to dress up or dress, is an exception that Mickey Mouse made his debut with a pair of shorts and then change it completely). There is obviously an evolution of style graphics (at least for the characters always assigned to a single artist), but the substance is. The characters of the novels rather older. The novel in the Inspector Montalbano novel accuses the passing years. Maigret at one point retiring, even though his exploits are still (Simenon wanted to stop but then had to continue). Then why books should be read in the chronological order in which they were written, just to capture the evolution (or involution) of the protagonists. Some authors write in advance of the last novel in a series, to close (at least to prevent the character to survive themselves) did Agatha Christie, it seems it has already done Camilleri. Conan Doyle was forced to revive Sherlock Holmes. In comics, there are very few exceptions. In the Peanuts and Mafalda, for example, a series that began the new characters are born, which initially are small, as they grow, but reached a certain point they stop. Apart from this, a series of comic books it can be easily read in any order, because there are hardly historical references with previous episodes (there are also there, of course, but sometimes they are hidden and no effect). An example of a serial comic literary type, which presents characters that is standing still in time (and a stop time itself) is the work of Wodehouse, consisting of three or four main areas, linked together, with interchangeable characters, but immutable , ageless. Although there is still a sequence, even if mild. In short, the serial will be a lifeline for writers. It will be only one way to sell more because the public takes a liking characters and ends up forgiving if a story is not up to another. It will be a way to continue telling the same story. Ultimately, it is always so: even the classical myths were formed by episodes involving the same characters. Even the Homeric heroes or the gods of Olympus were basically serial.
