Graphic Medicine at Miami Libraries: WebComics

A guide to Graphic Medicine at Miami Libraries

What are Webcomics?

Webcomics are designed to be viewed online. They can take many forms: a single comic strip, a collection, a series, an ongoing narrative, etc.  Graphic Medicine reviews new webcomics that specifically address medical themes, but webcomics are often self-published and may be found online. 

Graphicmedicine.com maintains a Web Comics Archive
