BAM! POW! WHAM!: Comic Book Language 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Have you ever read a comic book or watched a superhero movie and seen those big, bold words flying across the page — BAM! POW! WHAM!? Those aren’t just sound effects — they’re part of what makes comic books such a fun, colourful world of language! Superheroes don’t just save cities from villains — they’ve also saved some of our most exciting words and phrases. From the slang of the 1930s to the punchy dialogue of today, the language of comic books has shaped the way we talk, text, and even think about courage and creativity. So grab your cape and dictionary — it’s time to explore the artistic superhero lexicon! Follow The Cat’s Pyjamas on your favourite podcast app so you don’t miss an episode!
