I love comics. And I want you to love them too. Which is why you have to have a look at this list and find at least one new comic to fall in love with. Unless you read them all already of course, in which case I guess I'll let you off. Clearly bad links would make this page pretty redundant, so if you spot any please email me at kaspall(at)xepher(dot)net. I guess I should also say that not all these links will be for the under 18s? I've never been very good at giving things ratings. If you would like to link me (and I would be very happy if you did): Kaspall buttons and banners can be found here. |

| JUMP TO: | Short Form | Miscellaneous |
Long FormThese are continuous storylines, so I recommend starting from the beginning with all of them. |
|||
![]() Gunnerkrigg Court: An increasingly complex and intriguing fantasy set at an odd school. |
![]() Brink: Possibly insane people on a possibly insane treatment program. The art matches the subject perfectly. |
||
![]() Finder: Read this. Seriously. Tagged as aboriginal SF, and unlike anything else. Though note: only the currently playing story is available in full. |
![]() Gothbunnies: Great fun story - three siblings cope with walking plants, magic and an untrustworthy neighbour. |
||
![]() Girl Genius: Great art, guaranteed updates and an insane gaslamp fantasy storyline. What's not to like? |
![]() Templar Arizona: A city worth exploring. Go and pay a visit. |
||
|
Lackadaisy Lackadaisy: Oh man, so pretty. Loads of genuine 1920s glamour and illicit booze, with cats. |
![]() Crimson Dark: Joss Whedon style sci-fi, with nice 3D art. |
||
![]() Galaxion: Intelligent and optimistic sci-fi in space, with a likeable cast of characters. |
![]() Crowfeathers: The wild west, mixed with fantasy, horror and whole bunch of other good things. |
||
![]() File 49: Book 1 complete, Book 2 ongoing. Conspiracies, kids with powers and a sarcastic, telepathic drunk guy. |
![]() Megatokyo: Gamer comic crossed with shojo manga. Plus, Godzilla and stuff. |
||
![]() Kismet: Hunter's Moon: Complete to read online. Sci-fi with great characters, ideas and plot. Highly recommended. |
![]() A Divine Dramedy: Complete to read online. Young thespians make the most of the afterlife. |
||
![]() A Miracle of Science: Complete to read online. A mad-sci-fi where my favourite character is a planet. |
![]() Antihero For Hire: Vigilante super-heroism crossed with budget constraints. |
||
![]() The Phoenix Requiem: A quiet fantasy with gorgeous filmic art and a vaguely Russian-ish setting. |
![]() 8:1: A straight-told story about being lost in your twenties, with characters I'd like to hang out with. |
||
Short FormThese are all made up of single comic strips or comics made up of stand-alone pages. Okay, some of them have regular characters, but it's quite easy to jump into the middle of the archives. |
|||
![]() Copper: A boy and his dog wander around the most gorgeous and bizarre landscapes you'll see in a while. |
![]() Wondermark: Victorian illustrations with not so Victorian dialogue. |
||
![]() Cat and Girl: Often thoughtful, often political, often downright silly. Often all at once. |
![]() Thingpart: A photo comic strip with a disturbing atmosphere all of it's own. |
||
![]() Perfect Stars: Great use of colour (hand inked and everything!) and unexpected jokes. |
![]() Thingpart: A weird joke every Wednesday. |
||
![]() A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible: Permanently on hiatus, but well worth reading if you haven't yet. |
![]() Joe Loves Crappy Movies: Love the strips, love the reviews, have wasted far too much time on the back catalogue drop-down. |
||
MicellaneousThey all have some story arcs or on-going plot elements, but some have a fair amount of single page stuff as well. Generally I'd say if the archive is grouped in story arcs, then start at the beginning of one and you'll probably be all right. Probably. |
|||
![]() Dresden Codak: Giant, gorgeous, weird, funny; I want to print them all out just so I can look at them properly. |
![]() Scary Go Round: Do I really need to tell you to read this? Surely you're reading it already? |
||
![]() E-merl: A wide selection of extraordinary webcomics. Brain Fist is still a big favourite. |
![]() Minus: A girl with limitless powers causes strange havoc. Gorgeous water-colour art. |
||
![]() Beaver and Steve: They have extremely bizarre, funny, brightly coloured adventures. |
![]() Achewood: Funny but unsettling storylines with stupidly well-written characters. |
||
![]() Rob and Elliot: Two-mismatched-guys-sharing-a-flat, but good. Very entertaining nonsense. |
![]() Joe and Monkey: I wish I had Joe's general enthusiasm for awesome things, and a friend who was a monkey. |
||
![]() Sconeborough: A housemates type strip, with nice art and British TV show references. |
![]() Maxwell the Demon: Traditional hellfire, but with a modern business attitude and a nice suit. |
||
|
Pear Pear Pear Pear: Silent adventures of a pear and coffee mug. Requires some interpretation, but is well worth it. |
![]() Pictures For Sad Children: A depressing view on life, but told in an appealing way. |
