Adult comics are comic books intended for adults. They may tell stories of a more mature nature than other comics or may contain material that might be considered disturbing, horrifying, obscene, profane, immoral, and even pornographic. Adult comics include graphic novels, longer serialized comics, and shorter stories.
The term "adult comics" in the past generally referred to those with explicit sexual content, and was sometimes separated from comics labeled for "mature readers".

Famous quotes containing the word adult:
“[University students] hated the hypocrisy of adult society, the rigidity of its political institutions, the impersonality of its bureaucracies. They sought to create a society that places human values before materialistic ones, that has a little less head and a little more heart, that is dominated by self-interest and loves its neighbor more. And they were persuaded that group protest of a militant nature would advance those goals.”
—Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
