Question

The term 'comics', broadly speaking, describes a side range of picture - story books written specially for young people. The story-not necessarily humorous, is told in brightly coloured illustrations, the explanatory action and dialogues floating gracefully in oval bubbles from the mouths of the characters. Often, in addition to the picture-stories, there are other attractive features-articles on sport and hobbies, short stories, letter from and to the editor, a prize competition and a few alluring advertisements. The writers of these comics have rightly realized the 'escapist' impulses of young readers and their themes invariabley deal with this impulses. The worst comics have impossible situations, scrappy characterization and a prose full of jargon. their only virtue appears to be that in the story good triumphs over the evil. On the other hand, some, comics though not of the highest literary merit are nevertheless written reasonably well. Most youngsters sooner or later outgrow these comics. But parents must guide their children to select their comics than to forbid to read them. Q. The synonym of Alluring is:
