Where these come from
- The Internet Archive: its comics, pulp and magazine collections. Each work's page states its licence or status as the Archive does.
- Wikimedia Commons: public-domain comic strips, each file under the licence its page states.
- Chronicling America, from the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities: historic American newspapers, with the text of every page.
- Every page is shown from the archive's own image server; nothing is copied here. Comics and magazines carry no age ratings, so each is placed cautiously (who sees what). More about this section.
