Although, this looks like a standard category, it is in fact a little bit of an oddity.
As most of our comics could be classified in one way or another as 'adventure' this would mean
that we would have a massive amount of titles in this section.
So, what we have decided to do was to gather together adventure comics that do not appear
in any other of the mainstream categories. This should then give them a bit more exposure,
just in case they get overlooked.
The result is we have a rather interesting collection of titles, many of which are a little bit quirky.
We have 391 titles and 8,772 issues in our 'Adventure Category' for you to enjoy.
