Comics are not, as is often thought, an inherently debased form of literature. Indeed, despite the glut of "slap some issues of some superhero comic together and call it a graphic novel" books on the market, I dare say the percentage of really good comic books (not magazines, mind you, but books like these) is higher than the percentage of worthwhile novels published (after all, when we regard the latter we have to include all the Harlequin romances, for instances). Comics aren't taken seriously because comic junkies don't really differentiate between the great and the crap, which makes it hard for us to take comic junkies seriously. There are still those who insist all TV is crap and will never be the equal of cinema, but TV fans are becoming more discerning about what they defend, finally realizing that you don't have to stand up for the entire medium to validate the parts you think are great, and TV is being taken more seriously because of that. Comics are popular in other languages but of course only English is dealt with. Japanese and Korean manga style is much different and a comparison of the ratio of words per panel would have made an interesting style comparison.

Comics are much more interesting if they seem to be doing something rather than remaining stationary. Comics are so massive in Japan that they make up nearly 40 per cent of the sales of all publications. Comics are just another storytelling medium. Comics are no more just for kids than television is just for the Peg Bundys of the world.

Comics are a big part of our culture. Whether you prefer Manga, American Graphic Novels, or the funny pages, it is quite possible that you read at least one regularly. Comics are a great tool, both externally and internally. Comics work as an external tool where you're using them to communicate to others once you’ve finished creating them. Comics are not prose. Comics are not movies.

Creature Tech is a very intelligent science fiction comic with a strong pro-religious message. There are several volumes of Astro City in the young adult section. Creating a reason for the public to read any of the newspaper while online would put the newspaper company out of business. Instead of giving a reason for us to continue supporting our local newspaper, you have done just the opposite!

Gay-themed comics are a small world, especially on internet, and I’m glad to be doing my part in it, whether through the GCL site or with my writing. Gary requested the project finished by January 1st, but I asked to push that back to April 1st, 2003. Even with my new date, there existed a lack of reality with regards to how long a finished product would take to produce (especially with myself working a "real" job to pay the bills).

Images of youthful adults, and images of children who have never existed in the real world, are not child pornography under the Free Speech Coalition ruling. Imagine my surprise today when I saw the announcement and . Or at least the most-unconfirmed-rumoured bits of news, anyway.
