The earliest known example of a Motion Comic is [[WesternAnimation/TheMarvelSuperHeroes the animated adaptation of Marvel Comics, ''Marvel Super Heroes'']], that incorporated movements and audio with panels from their own works, meaning people could see Creator/JackKirby works being dubbed over. Other comics likewise have been adapted for television including ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'', ''Manga Bible'', and other works.
