Symbolism adds layers of meaning to a comic's story, inviting readers to interpret beyond the literal. Recurring images, colors, or objects can represent abstract concepts or themes. For example, the color red in 'The Dark Knight Returns' often symbolizes violence and decay. Effective use of symbolism elevates a comic from a simple narrative to a rich and thought-provoking experience.
