In fact there is a story behind creation of every comic character which is as amazing as the characters in them. Here are some of them for your information-

Harry Potter

Harry Potter is one of the most famous comic characters which came into the existence when the famous writer J.K Rowling (Joanne “Jo” Rowling), a school teacher was standing on Manchester railway platform waiting for a train to London in 1990. She had a skinny boy with specks in her mind. Rowling accepted it later in one of her interviews that after the death of her mom she felt too lonely and wanted to create an orphan character with special powers.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll the creator of the character of Alice, a mathematician was traveling in a river on a picnic trip along with his three friends and their sisters. Alice was one of the sisters who insisted Lewis Carroll to portray her as one of the main characters in his next fiction. Carroll agreed and thus Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland came into existence during the tea party at a riverbank.

Ninja Turtle   

Ninja Turtle is the creation of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird the two illustration artist working for a comic book company in the year 1983 when Kevin drew four turtles on a sheet of paper. The turtles were standing upright on their front feet, masked, having Nanchakus in their hands and ready to fight. Kevin named them Ninja Turtles and showed them to his friend Peter who made some amendments by drawing outlines and minor other changes and renamed them as Teenage Mutant. That was beginning of Ninja Turtles.

Superman

The character of super hero of Superman was not the same character how it appears these days but it was a villainous character in the beginning when an American student created it in 1933. Actually, Jerry Siegel had created this character for his story titled ‘The Reign of the Superman’ which showed Superman in bad light that wanted to capture the entire world. But later Jerry converted Superman in a good role of a person who had arrived on earth from an imaginary planet known as Krypton.

Mickey mouse

Walt Disney brought this character as Oswald the lucky rabbit in the year 1928. Now one of the most famous characters among children this character was not the same as today but it had round shape, button like nose, white color wide black colored ear. This character of a rabbit was big hit instantly. But later the character of the Rabbit was changed to its present look.
