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:
“If the Russians have gone too far in subjecting the child and his peer group to conformity to a single set of values imposed by the adult society, perhaps we have reached the point of diminishing returns in allowing excessive autonomy and in failing to utilize the constructive potential of the peer group in developing social responsibility and consideration for others.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
