Modern Tales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Modern Tales is a website featuring many free and subscription-based comics created especially for the web. It was launched on March 2, 2002 by Joey Manley, the Modern Tales publisher, and approximately 30 professional cartoonists, such as Dorothy Gambrell, author of popular webcomic Cat and Girl, Chuck Whelon with his webcomic Pewfell, and James Kochalka, the award-winning creator of American Elf. Modern Tales is one of the first stable examples of the subscription model for webcomics and also one of the few profitable webcomic subscription websites. Several spin-off websites have emerged in its wake, including serializer, girlamatic and Graphic Smash, each featuring a different editorial focus.

Eric Burns of Websnark became the editor of Modern Tales' newly-announced free content in December of 2005, although he was replaced by Shaenon Garrity, creator of Narbonic, in August of 2006[1].
