There are a lot of great artists who create beautifully illustrated webcomics. Some of my favorite graphic novels at the library, like Cucumber Quest, Spaceboy, and Tea Dragon Society started out as webcomics. Here are some webcomics I enjoy, that you can read online for free.

Set in a Prohibition-era 1927 St. Louis with a population of anthropomorphic cats, the plot chronicles the fortunes of the Lackadaisy speakeasy after its founder is murdered. The comic mixes elements of comedy, crime and mystery.
Kochab is a YA fantasy comic about two girls lost in a pile of ruins under the woods, inspired by various myths and fairytales. The story follows Sonya, a lost skier trying to survive a snowy wilderness and find her way back to her village, and Kyra – a fire spirit trying to fix the home that she’s let fall apart around her.
