It's very hard to find free comics. Getcomics.org and readcomicsonline.li are legitimate databases for comics. However, some comics require you to download them to read them, rather than being able to browse a rolling collection of scanned images online. We cannot guarantee the safety of the links on the website, even if the websites themselves are legitimate. Use discretion, and a trustworthy antivirus software! If you don't feel safe downloading a comic, please don't do so. Instead, explore our book, audiobook, and podcast offerings. Enjoy!

Home Time - Campbell Whyte
Summary (from readcomicsonline.li): "The last school bell has rung and it's finally HOME TIME! Even though they're twins, Lilly and David don't agree on much… except that the last summer before high school is the perfect time for relaxing with friends. But their plans for sleepovers, fantasy games, and romance are thrown out the window when the whole gang falls into a river and wakes up in a village of fantastic creatures. Hailed as magical spirits and attacked by lizards, these kids must find their way home — if they don't throttle each other first. Australian cartoonist Campbell Whyte combines the rich imagination of Dungeons & Dragons with puckishly charming characters and a touch of video-game geometry in his spectacular first graphic novel."
Under-Earth - Chris Gooch
Summary (from Amazon.com): "The inmates of an extensive underground prison struggle to build meaningful lives in a broken system, in the most ambitious graphic novel to date from rising indie star Chris Gooch."
Night Fisher - R. Kikuo Johnson
Summary (from Amazon.com): "First-rate prep school, SUV, and a dream house in the heights - this was the island paradise handed to Loren Foster when he moved to Hawaii with his father six years ago. Now, with the end of high school just around the corner, his best friend, Shane, has grown distant. The rumors say its hard drugs, and Loren suspects that Shane has left him behind for a new group of friends. What sets Kikuo's drama apart is the naturalistic ease with which he explores the relationships of his characters. It is at once an unsentimental portrait of that most awkward period between adolescence and young adulthood and that rarest of things - a mature depiction of immature lives."
The Lovely Horrible Stuff - Eddie Campbell
Summary (from readcomicsonline.li): "Money makes the world go round, as they say. And around. And around. Eddie Campbell is an award-winning graphic novelist (Alec, From Hell) whose work defies categorization. His latest book is a dizzying autobiographical investigation into MONEY. It's a voyage that takes him all the way from the imaginary wealth of Ponzi schemes to the real hard stuff on an obscure South Sea tropical island where he investigates the history of the stone money. This is no dry and dusty treatise on finance; any complexities are pleasingly reduced to the level of bubblegum trading cards. In here you will hear about the corporation that Campbell keeps under his bed; you will meet colorful historical characters and be taken on dangerous shark-infested sea adventures; and after that, we will all plunge to the depths to retrieve our loose change. Campbell's wry eye and vivid full-color artwork imbue the proceedings with real humanity, making The Lovely Horrible Stuff an investment that's worth every penny."
