I'm not an expert and here's what I think! 1) The Comics Code Authority hosed up comics in a variety of ways, from warping the kind of content that was produced to twisting the public perception of the medium to being either for deviants, or children, or deviant children 2) The direct market period/speculation bubble further made the cultural perception of comics less "something that is enjoyable to read" and more "Something that obsessive compulsives collect" and "something you buy hoping to get rich, if you are dumb" 3) Is there any kind of serialized periodical fiction that is particularly popular anymore, outside of fanfiction? Excluding manga for comparison purposes. I know there are some successful webcomics but it seems like for every big seller there are tens of thousands, ranging from people still making bad Penny Arcade clones in the 2020s to really well thought out expertly executed original stories, and hardly any of them seem to be a big deal. 4) A lot of independent stuff nowadays reads like pitches for live action adaptations anyway (This one is the most subjective one, probably)
