Probably the biggest difference is the (47)H.Up until the 1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The(48)A of TV,however,led to a long-term decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes.In Japan,the (49)E couldn't be greater.There manga sales are still (50)B,reaching as high as 7billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.A survey by the Mainichi newspaper estimates that 42percent of women aged 20to 49read comics.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.
