I'm curious, has the US exported much of its non-Disney, non-superhero comics? There's quite a bit more to American comics than that stuff.

- agumonkey 8y agoI'm not very knowledgeable, I'm an 80s kid.. so US comics === super hero (also movies to an extent, Donner's Superman was a massive event, Robocop, TMNT ..). So my answer would be .. no. US comics = Disney + Marvel + DC. I actually struggle to remember anything else. I'd be happy to know more though..
- bunderbunder 8y agoAnything by Strangers in Paradise, Bone, Frank, anything by Art Spiegelman, anything by R. Crumb, I'm not sure if the US gets to claim Neil Gaiman or not, The Walking Dead, Ghost World, Love and Rockets, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. . .
- agumonkey 8y agoBe a little more specific for Bone and Frank, I'm not sure if these are authors or characters. Also, I had no idea Ghost World was a comic, neither The Walking Dead.. Oh and lastly, not comic per se, but cartoons were a staple of US drawing culture. WB, toons, even the simpsons to an extent.
- bunderbunder 8y agoBone is a series by Jeff Smith. It's a good one for kids - sort of an epic light fantasy. Frank is by Jim Woodring. It's hard to describe.
- agumonkey 8y agoAight, for a reason I was confused by Frank as in Frank Herbert .. Frank does look odd.
- Bayart 8y agoSome titles have been popular due to tying into some trendy stuff (The Walking Dead), but really anything other than Disney comics (which are actually largely European) is invisible. It's funny how Don Rosa is a classic master here and Americans don;t even know the guy.
