    The traditional paper based comics/graphic novels are costly, time consuming, and takes more effort for its publications and distribution to reach audience. Thus a huge amount of responsibility comes for the creators. But in webcomics, it’s easier for comic creators to publish their work through the access of the Internet, making it more comfortable for the authors to reach their audience and skipping those intermediary steps taken while distributing the traditional way.

    Here’s an example of a daily updated webcomic series:

    Since the contents of webcomics are self-published, there are almost nil restrictions, which is usually placed forward by book publishers or syndicated companies, when publishing the old fashioned way. Thus, there is more artistic freedom and a great advantage of no restrictions in terms of censorship as well.
