I always laughed at the funny pictures and the humorous things that the characters said. As I got older, I learnt how to draw pictures, and I began reading comic books. My favourite comic book is Batman, which was first published in 1939by DC Comics, one of the two biggest comic book publishers in the USA. Batman is a superhero, and he fights crime in Gotham City. Batman was made into five successful films between 1989and 2005. It was very exciting to see my favourite superhero come alive on the screen! Batman is not the only comic book that was made into a film. Superman, Spiderman, Fantastic Four and X-men have also become live-action films. Recently, I have been thinking that I would like to be a comic book artist in the future. I enjoy drawing and love comic books, so it seems like the perfect occupation for me. I have been researching what I need to do to become a comic book artist. The first thing I need to do is make a portfolio, which is a collection of my best work. My portfolio should show that I am capable of creating original drawings. I also have several ideas for comic book characters. It is not enough just to draw pictures of a character in different poses, though. I need to show the publisher that I can create a story using pictures, so my portfolio should have a series of drawings that tell a story. In addition to drawing my character well, I also have to be able to draw background scenes, such as city landscapes. As many comic book writers want to work for DC Comics and Marvel, the other large American comic book publisher, getting a job at one of these companies is very difficult. I might consider working for a smaller company at first. Then after I have some experience I can try to get a job at DC Comics, which has published some of my favourite comic books. I hope I can achieve my dream of being a comic book artist soon. （1）The writer likes comic books because __________.
