They generally contain the full dialog from the anime from which they are adapted. While usually published in [book](/source/Tank%C5%8Dbon) form, they are also sometimes released electronically as [e-books](/source/E-book), occasionally called *e-manga*. Companies such as [Tokyopop](/source/Tokyopop) and [Viz](/source/Viz_Media) release film comics under the trademarks **Cine-manga** and **Ani-manga**, respectively.[1] The technique is similar to [photo comics](/source/Photo_comics), many of which use stills from live-action movies or television series to adapt these stories to the comics medium. Film comics have been well received in English-speaking countries, with some titles selling more than 500,000 copies.[2] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** "[Tokyopop and Disney expand on Cinemanga Success](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2004-04-06/tokyopop-and-disney-expand-on-cinemanga-success)".
