Revision as of 08:10, 16 April 2010
The following is a list of notable self-sufficient webcomics that are known to produce the primary income of their artists and/or writers. This income typically is derived from on-site advertising, web comic merchandising, collections of strips in book form, art commissions, subscription fees, reader donations or a combination of these means.
Of the thousands of webcomics, very few produce significant income; in general the creator of a website is lucky if it can support even its own hosting bills.[1]
