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:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
