fan comics
Unofficial derivative artwork
Fan comics are amateur comic works created by fans using characters, settings, or stories from existing media.
Like fan fiction in prose form, they expand on or reimagine source material—filling narrative gaps, exploring alternate scenarios, or pairing characters romantically.
Fan comics range from rough sketches to polished work rivaling professional quality, circulating through online communities and conventions.
