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:
“I would hope that parents and grown children could be friends. When a friend confides in you that she’s going to do something that you think is most inappropriate, foolhardy or even dangerous, wouldn’t you as a friend say so—in a calm, supportive way? Yet I have to be so careful what I say to my children. I have to walk on eggs to be sure I’m not hurting their feelings or interfering with their lives.”
—Anonymous Parent of Adult Children. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 5 (1978)
