Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Webcomics are comics published on the Internet, such as on a website or a mobile app. While many webcomics are published exclusively online, others are also published elsewhere, such as in magazines, newspapers, or comic books. Webcomics can be compared to self-published print comics in that anyone with an Internet connection can publish their own webcomic. Readership levels vary widely; many are read only by the creator's immediate friends and family, while some of the most widely read have audiences of well over one million readers. Webcomics range from traditional comic strips and graphic novels to avant garde comics, and cover many genres, styles, and subjects. They sometimes take on the role of a comic blog. The term web cartoonist is sometimes used to refer to someone who creates webcomics.
