Most everyone likes comics. Nowadays, really good comic strip concepts get turned into comic book movies, television shows, or streaming series from DC, Dark Horse, Marvel, Fantagraphics Books or various Manga publishers. And they are likely to be ultimately deployed as webcomics, some that may be free. Consider this page as your discovery portal to the comic book, graphic novel and manga universe.
While legacy comics (Marvel, DC Entertainment, Aspen Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Comics, various Manga offerings) remain ever so visible by way of their adaptation into a comic book movie, television, games, streaming adaptations, or just long-running print distribution, a newer generation of comic book artists look to create the next generation of comic book ideas, bypassing print and maybe comic book publishers altogether to offer webcomics in their own webspace.
Historically, (and most particularly in the United States) comic strip formats have been constrained within various formats. The newspaper comics page can reflect varied genres and themes conceptualized by the restrictions of a daily edition or a larger Sunday edition. The comic book is recognized as a (smaller) magazine or pamphlet that can stand on its own or be a part of a series. A series is also sometimes called a title, which refers to the entire series, not a single, discrete unit.
Multiple comics issues of a series may be collected into a single volume. It can be hardcover or softcover. Softcover editions are often called trade paperbacks, or just trades, regardless of size. A hardcover or a softcover can also be called a graphic novel which came into being in the late 1980s.
Indie comics (otherwise known as alternative, post-underground comics, independent comics, auteur comics, small press comics, new wave comics, creator-owned comics, art comics, literary comics) usually provide an alternative to recognizable superhero, sci-fi fantasy or comedy comics can be published within a limited distribution, and published with less regard for regular distribution schedules. Then, of course, there are webcomics.
Make sure to peruse the selection of webcomics that have been curated for your enjoyment. For aspiring comic art creators, find below the known comic strip publishers, their city/country location and a handy link to their website (with a submissions link noted if available). The listing reflects a mix of some of the better known comic strip publishers as well as those that are much smaller (or not as well known commercially) and perhaps more suited to a form of alternative comics.
The following listings are of comic book publishers. Some names are sure to be very familiar to the average comic book fan. Other, less recognizable names are of smaller, alternative and niche comic book presses, graphic novel, manga and webcomic publishers. You will need to click through to the particular comics or graphic novel publisher to learn of the particular genre they accept.
