Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Hero stories reinforce that "honour, justice and even civilisation itself" (as a placeholder for vaguely progressive ideas) would need to be installed by powerful individuals aka Great Man theory fiction.
That's not what I've seen. The stories I'm familiar with usually involve defending those things where they already exist, not establishing them. Even in cases where that needs established, as often as not, they're usually protecting someone else who embodies that ideal.
I'm sure there are stories similar to what you've described, but I don't see that in the stories I'm familiar with.
