Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

'Lockwood & Co." on Netflix is a good example of this idea. Only a small number of teens can fight the baddies.
'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' assumes that the Slayer won't make it past 25...
Can't think of that many more.
I was thinking about this a while ago. Back in the day, there were a lot of middle-aged superheroes. Dr. Strange, Col. Nick Fury, Reed Richards, Professor X, and The Chief of the Doom Patrol were all over 40.
Lockwood and Co has a show now??? Is it true to the books?
Never read the books. I liked the show, and look forward to the next season.
If you like English fantasy novels, look up Tanith Lee. 'Night's Master' is a good place to start.
The books were solid when I was in 7th grade. No idea how they transfer to adulthood
