This threw me off, showed up as a new story on one of the usual feeds, actually from 2011.
The first comic book? This recovered papyrus fragment depicts a scene, complete with line drawing illustrations, from the Labors of Heracles, a popular mythological tale in the Greco-Roman world. It narrates and illustrates the first of the 12 labors, the killing of the Nemean Lion. Wikimedia Commons
Fragment from one of the works of Euclid, Elements of Geometry, showing a diagram of a geometric formulation of an algebraic relationship. Wikimedia Commons
