Webcomics are digital comics that are published online, allowing creators to share their work with a global audience. They can cover a wide range of genres, including humor, fantasy, and drama, and are often serialized, meaning they are released in episodes or chapters over time. Many webcomics are free to read, supported by advertising, crowdfunding, or merchandise sales. They can be found on dedicated websites, social media platforms, or webcomic hosting services. This format has made it easier for independent artists to reach readers without the need for traditional publishing.
