"Comic Art" is a broad name of fictional Arts which born from or share the same aesthetic idea with manga or anime. Forms of Comic Art include painting, sculpture, installation, photography, film, publications, practical products, network art, costumes, dolls, performance and also behavior art.Today, the edges of traditional visual industries are fading under the effect of growling digital visual technique. Therefor Comic Art shows intersection with other visual areas and gain living space in realistic world. Its remarkable impact assimilates people appreciating angle, and forms a strong culture soft power.In current time, Chinese Comic Art has obtained a scale in quantity, but in sense of quality, it’s still far from excellent. Leaks inindependent style and standard character, absence of culture content and national aesthetic idea, and uncontrolled plagiarize works together make Chinese Comic Art hardly show a distinguish image. In contrast, Japanese anime and manga acts a leading role in global comic world with unique shaping method, distinct character design and diversified visual subjects, building itself a powerful group image sector and a highlyrecognizable culture card.MEME is a concept put forward by Richard Dawkins, an English evolutionary biologist and animal behaviorist, in hisbook Selfish Gene published in 1976. In Dawkins’book,human culture has a same evolution way as creature. Just like DNA and RNA act as gene of creature, there is also something acts as cultural gene, which is namedas MEME by Dawkins.A high living valued MEME can bring living advantage to its carrier, and those who have high reproduce ability, low copy cost and high copy accuracy would gain more audience attention, media resource or imitator. A successful reproduced MEME might be an occasional variation at the beginning, but once the environment find its advantage, it can create huge population and win the culture competition.Visual communication is a subject that deals with the visual information communication discipline between people and objects, aims at promoting a further view in design field, explores the function and goal of art design, explain the aesthetics principle and apply them to visual design area.As visual art works, popular comic workscan attribute their achievements to the internal cause:visual presentation. This paper is going to learn from MEME theory and visual communication knowledge about visual information integration, pick typical cases that have long evolution trace and lager reproduce scale to analyze the model in which a single visual fragment can create a huge family. Thoughresearching into advantages of Japanese manga characters、 shaping style and culture packing mode, we can summarize a systematic idea of how classical images refine and upgrade themselves to became eternal standards. Comparing this mode to Chinese cases, we may find some potential bard in our own works and throw light on a feasible way, through which we can form our independent overall comic style.
