Catholic comics and webcomics? I'm actually on the hunt for any sort of webcomic either drawn by a catholic artist or with catholic themes but I feel it's been a difficult search. Tomics is funny, and Jason Bach too, but I'm interested in like, serious original art and stories. Any suggestions?

Re: Catholic comics and webcomics? Can you give an example of serious art and stories? Anything will do. A comparison to a movie or book or even old comic book. Ed

Ed I was sorta thinking, something like a fantasy comic or superhero type stuff. I'm an indy artist and a webcomicker and I'm looking for any good ones done by fellow Catholics.

That's interesting actually, and tbh, sorta well drawn. I'll have to check that out, thank you ^^ (Aghh I totally forgot about including anime, in my request)

Re: Catholic comics and webcomics? There is an old Catholic comic magazine series called Timeless Topix; the Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz worked for them for about a year: Timeless Topix (1943) 2-A Comic Book by Catechetical Guild: http://www.comiccollectorlive.com/it...s-Topix-1943-2 http://www.comiccollectorlive.com/Index/CoverTitle.aspx?id=48eb1def-7bb3-441f-8ba7-bd87f469ab35 __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)

Re: Catholic comics and webcomics? There have been several comics that have tried to produce Catholic comics over the years. A few have had decent art, but generally the story telling has been lacklustre and too keen to deliver a message rather than tell a story and thus the narrative tends to suffer. Superheroes in specifically comic books are another matter, Marvel and DC both have prominent Catholic characters but how well they are handled depends on the writer to be frank. Some writers were and are decent at handling various faiths, some are er, less so. P

As for anime...I can't think of any except those kinds of anime that mix Catholic stuff with fantasy like Ao No Exorcist, and D.Grey Man. __________________ Don't say: 'That person gets on my nerves.'
