The ilovecomix Archive

The ilovecomix Archive is a dedicated online repository of vintage newspaper comic strips published before 1990. Launched in September 2013, this passion project has grown to encompass a substantial collection built through contributions from collectors and enthusiasts. Currently boasting 162 total members, including 29 paid subscribers, the Archive demonstrates a strong community dedicated to the preservation of this important cultural artifact. While generating modest income (estimated between $84 and $700), the Archive's primary focus remains on the diligent and meticulous archiving of these historical comics. Its unique value lies in the comprehensive nature of the collection, providing access to strips that might otherwise be lost to time or unavailable to the public. This makes it a valuable resource not only for casual readers and nostalgic fans, but also for researchers and historians studying the evolution of the comic strip medium.
