The diploma thesis The Role of Symbols and Myths in (contemporary) Comics focuses on different functions of symbols and myths in fictional comics worlds, especially their different roles in comics from Japanese or Anglo-American area. The connection of comics and mythology brings up the analysis of the concept of heroic archetype which often appears in stories. I will chart the evolution of hero from the mythological one over superheroes to the contemporary modern hero and I will evidence his influence on the contemporary comics. Later, I will analyze how these fictional worlds are built on the logic of the actual world.
