The term 'Articulated Comic Book Art' (abbreviated A.C.B.A) is a visual art form first recognized by a passionate group of the action figure collecting community here on Youtube. The term was coined by Boog Nice & is his registered Trademark with USPTO.

At its most basic level, Articulated Comic Book Art is akin to the miniature dioramas found in many museums, and as the name implies, the subject matter is influenced by comic book/superhero themes that pay homage to the Marvel, DC, independent Comic Book universes, Manga & Anime A.C.B.A makes use of highly articulated action figures in primarily the 1/12th (6") or 1/18th (3 3/4") scale, incorporating elaborate background sets, dynamic/dramatic lighting, scaled props, inserted paper dialogue balloons and comic book style sound effects with the end result emulating scenes lifted right from the source material. Due to the nature of this medium, the individual artist is not chained to any of these concepts and liberties are often taken.
