    Hi:

    I am wondering IF it is legal to display comics though phpcomic or any other Comic Script...

    Anyone could clarify this?

    TIA :shock:

    That would depend almost entirely on what the copyright restrictions were on the comics. With permission, you can display anything. You might try to get it in writing though... a signed letter of consent will get you a lot further in court than any email. It also may have to do with where you live/host. Generally speaking, if it comes from another site, you'd best look deep into the Terms Of Service on that site - especially when it comes to something that Big Media may be highly protective of.

    There are quite a few "newbie" comix cartists as well as those who do it for the love of their art - I look for those that are "Kid Safe" since much of the "indie" stuff is more adult related.

    Here's how I set mine up on this one web site using the Sections of PN:

    The Sunday Comic Pages
    (Kid Safe!)

    These are FREE with the artist permision & link back

    If you're poking fun at, reporting on, or talking about an individual comic, you could probably use any comic/strip legally under Fair Use.
