** From 1997 to 1999, ''Cartoon Network Presents'' had stories based on old Creator/HannaBarbera characters, but included their original series ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'', ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', and ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken''. Five issues were branded as ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'', which featured stories about the old Creator/HannaBarbera action characters like ''WesternAnimation/TheHerculoids'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheGalaxyTrio'' with Moltar commenting in between.
** After two years, it was replaced with ''Cartoon Network Starring'', which dropped the old cartoons and added ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' and ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''. It also dropped the Toonami-themed issues as that block shifted its focus to anime properties DC didn't have the rights to.

Gargoyles: Bad Guys is the proper name of the comic book series.


** Nine years after the show ended its run, there was a short-lived comic by Creator/SlaveLaborGraphics that was written by the cartoon's original creator Creator/GregWeisman, which continued the series by beginning with an adaptation of "The Journey" (the one episode of the third season ''The Goliath Chronicles'' that isn't CanonDiscontinuity) before going on with completely original stories. There was also a spin-off miniseries titled ''ComicBook/BadGuys'', which served as a RedemptionQuest for several of the show's villains. Unfortunately, both comics were cancelled after the main series' eighth issue and the ''Bad Guys'' spin-off's fourth issue due to Disney imposing higher licensing fees on Slave Labor Graphics, which resulted in the last four issues of the former and the last two issues of the latter never being published individually and only being available in the now out-of-print trade paperback editions.

** The first was a comic published by Marvel while the show was still in production. It portrayed Xanatos as an [[ObviouslyEvil over-the-top evil villain]] and featured a romantic subplot between Goliath and a cloned amalgam of ''his own DNA'' combined with Elisa's.

* Creator/BongoComics was founded by Creator/MattGroening and friends in 1993 largely to publish their own adaptations of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Naturally, they've also adapted ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' as well, and have even [[CrisisCrossover crossed the two series over]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' had a short-lived comic by Creator/SlaveLaborGraphics that was written by the cartoon's original creator Creator/GregWeisman, which continued the series by beginning with an adaptation of "The Journey" (the one episode of the third season ''The Goliath Chronicles'' that isn't CanonDiscontinuity) before going on with completely original stories. There was also a comic published by Marvel while the show was still in production. It portrayed Xanatos as an [[ObviouslyEvil over-the-top evil villain]] and featured a romantic subplot between Goliath and a cloned amalgam of ''his own DNA'' combined with Elisa's. Needless to say, this earlier comic wasn't canon at all.
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'':
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' had a comic series by Archie titled ''ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesAdventures'', which started out as a straight adaptation with the original three-issue ''Heroes in a Half-Shell'' miniseries and the first four issues of the ongoing series being adapted from the first seven episodes of the cartoon, before establishing its own continuity.
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'' had a short-lived comic book adaptation by Dreamwave, which, like the 1987 cartoon comic adaptation before it, initially adapted episodes of the actual show before moving on with original stories.
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' had three comic adaptations to its name, one featured in a magazine published by Panini and two by IDW Publishing (''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures'' and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Amazing Adventures'').
** ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' had a comic book tie-in by IDW as well, which is intended to be completely canon to the animated series it is based on.
* ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'': Originally a tie-in book to [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the 2003 TV show]], had A-name talents like J. Torres, Todd Nauck, and Sean Galloway working on it. After the show ended, the series continued a few of its unresolved story lines. When the 2013 series, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' began showing, it likewise got a comic book adaptation of the shows. As you can imagine this threw some confusion for most fans mistaking the first series based on the 2003 show. DC eventually labeled the '03 based comics as "Vol 1".
* Most Disney movies and cartoons usually have some form of comic book adaptation. This includes ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'', which was already an AnimatedAdaptation of Creator/CarlBarks' comic stories.
* ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls'' [[ComicBook/ThePowerpuffGirls had several comic books]] published by DC Comics and IDW Publishing, either based on the [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 1998]] or [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016 2016 series]], with most of the stories being original. Although, four of the 1998 series' episodes directly or indirectly distilled from stories from DC's comic book, with one story also being a direct adaptation of an episode.
** "Squirrely Burly" (issue #1, reprinted in #70) became Season 4 episode "Stray Bullet."
** Issue #7's "Remote Controlled" was initially written as a Season 1 episode, but the staff feared a lawsuit from Fred Rogers (''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood''), so they gave the outline to DC to do as the comic. The story would eventually re-surface to the series as one of its last episodes, "Neighbor Hood."
** Issue #21's "Big Fish Story" would be tweaked as the episode "Lying Around the House."
** Issue #46's "See You Later, Narrator" would see TV as "Simian Says," though the episode was produced and screened elsewhere before it aired in the United States and before the comic story was published.
** The adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'' was put on sale the same day as the movie release (July 3, 2002).
** An unmade episode, "Deja View", was published as issue #50 of the comic as well.
* Since the original days of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'', various Creator/HannaBarbera cartoons have had comic books made based on them, published by different companies over the years (Dell, Gold Key, Whitman, Charlton, Creator/HarveyComics, Creator/MarvelComics, Creator/ArchieComics, and most recently, Creator/DCComics). Currently, though, ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' is the only one that still has a comic running. In the Gold Key run, ''Scooby-Doo'' had the gang going from solving mysteries as a hobby to being ghost breakers for hire. And Scooby Snacks were used only in the first issue.
* During the original run of ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', a comic book series was also published by the now defunct NOW Comics that lasted 28 issues. A couple of annual issues also came out after the show ended.
* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' had comics featured in ''Magazine/NickelodeonMagazine'', the show's DVD sets and standalone stories in Free Comic Book Day one-shots, all of which were collected along with new stories in the collected volumes ''The Lost Adventures'' and ''Team Avatar Tales''. There were also a series of graphic novel trilogies serving to bridge the gap between the original series and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', consisting of "[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]," "[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch The Search]]" (which notably resolves the issue of the whereabouts of Zuko and Azula's mother) "[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheRift The Rift]]," "[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderSmokeAndShadow Smoke and Shadow]]", "[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderNorthAndSouth North and South]]", and "[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderImbalance Imbalace]]", in addition to three singular graphic novels in AnachronicOrder consisting of ''Katara and the Pirate's Silver'' (taking place after the show's episode "Bitter Work"), ''Toph Beifong's Metalbending Academy'' (set between the graphic novel trilogies ''The Rift'' and ''Smoke and Shadow'') and ''Suki, Alone'' (which is a prequel to the episode "The Boiling Rock").
** ''The Legend of Korra'' had its own comic book tie-ins, once more consisting of Free Comic Book Day one-shots as well as two graphic novel trilogies set after the series titled "[[ComicBook/TheLegendOfKorraTurfWars Turf Wars]]" and "[[ComicBook/TheLegendOfKorraRuinsOfTheEmpire Ruins of the Empire]]".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan'' had four volumes published by Gold Key and drawn by Warren Tufts. They were adaptations of episodes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 11 plus a new adventure not seen in the cartoon.
* In addition to the above, pretty much every major animated TV series of the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s saw comic book adaptations published by Dell Comics, Gold Key Comics, and Charlton Comics (now all defunct), with Marvel Comics taking a stab at Hanna-Barbera's stable of characters in the late 1970s; the H-B characters were also later licensed by Archie Comics and Harvey Comics.
* In TheNineties Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} put out comic books of several shows, including:
** ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' (1992-96, 44 issues)
** ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' (1994-96, 28 issues)
** ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' (1994; 7 issues)
* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' had a comic book through DC Comics (1999-2003; 34 issues). After that more stories were made for ''Creator/CartoonNetwork Block Party'' (2004-2009), also from DC.
* Creator/DCComics put out five comics based on ''Creator/CartoonNetwork'':
** From 1997 to 1999, ''Cartoon Network Presents'' had stories based on old Creator/HannaBarbera characters, but included their original series ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'', ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', and ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken''. Five issues were branded as ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'', which featured stories about the old Creator/HannaBarbera action characters like ''WesternAnimation/TheHerculoids'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheGalaxyTrio'' with Moltar commenting in between.
** After two years, it was replaced with ''Cartoon Network Starring'', which dropped the old cartoons and added ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' and ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''. It also dropped the Toonami-themed issues as that block shifted its focus to anime properties DC didn't have the rights to.
** In early 2001 it was replaced with ''Creator/CartoonCartoons'', and added ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel'', ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'', ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', and ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''.
** In 2004 it was replaced again with ''Cartoon Network Block Party''. It dropped some of the older stuff but added ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'', ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'', ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''. Some of those shows continued to have comics long after they were cancelled from the network and taken off regular time-slot. It finally ended in 2009.
** In 2006 another comic, ''Cartoon Network Action Pack'', began. It focused on more action oriented shows like ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'', ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', ''Franchise/Ben10'' (which was subsequently replaced with comics based on ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien''), ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays''. ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' and ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' appeared both here and in ''Block Party''. It ended in 2012.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' was given [[ComicBook/AdventureTime one in 2012]]. Curiously, it acts as a AlternateContinuity to the TV show. There's also ''ComicBook/AdventureTimeSeason11'', which tells events after the GrandFinale of the series. The comics based on fellow Creator/CartoonNetwork shows ''ComicBook/StevenUniverse'' and ''ComicBook/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' also tell side-stories.
* Naturally with its major popularity, ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW My Little Pony Friendship is Magic]]'' was given a comic book. Which later got spin-offs in the form of a Micro-Series (focusing on single characters) and later ''Friends Forever'' which puts the spotlight on two characters from the show interacting with each other.
* ''ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends'' is a compilation of four side-stories written by ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' showrunner Creator/AlexHirsch.
* Failed prime-time cartoon ''WesternAnimation/CalvinAndTheColonel'' had two issues put out by Dell in 1962.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' had several comics published in ''Magazine/NickelodeonMagazine'' until it went under. Eventually got its own title in 2011 through its production company, United Plankton Pictures, with Bongo Comics handling the publishing.
* A lot of animated works were adapted for newspaper comics. These include:
** ''ComicBook/{{Mickey Mouse|ComicUniverse}}'' (1930-1994)
** ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'' (1939-1990)
** ''WesternAnimation/DrKatzProfessionalTherapist'' (1997-1999)

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' (1998-2003)
** ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' (1961-1988)
** ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit'' (2010-2013)
* During the height of his popularity (about the 40s until the 60s)), WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker had a comic series that frequently co-starred other Creator/WalterLantz characters, including WesternAnimation/AndyPanda, WesternAnimation/ChillyWilly, and WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider|Man2012}}-Man'' had a comic book tie-in. Annoyingly, it's titled ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' and thus is easily confused with what is now ''[[Comicbook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Comics Spider-Man]]''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' has [[ComicBook/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes a four-issue miniseries, 12 issues' worth of new stories, and five comics adapting episodes]]. There was also an adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersUnitedTheyStand'' in the nineties.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ewoks}}'' was accompanied by [[ComicBook/{{Ewoks}} a comic book by Star Comics that lasted 14 issues]] and [[{{Prequel}} chronologically took place before the events of the cartoon]], a couple of Spanish two-page comics of somewhat dubious origin and one licensed UK annual. All of that was produced between 1985 and 1988 and these comics (as well as books) are considered to be a prequel to the animated series. Much later, Dark Horse Comics published a graphic novel titled ''Shadows of Endor'' in 2013 that is set in the time after the animated series, but before ''Film/StarWarsEwokAdventures'' and ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. A scene from the latter, where Wicket is poking princess Leia Organa with his spear, appears at the very end of the comic.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Droids}}'' also had comic adaptations; however, they tend to take place in a different time period from the show. The last three issues of the Star Comics adaptation brings things full circle by adapting ''Film/ANewHope'' from the perspective of Threepio and Artoo.
* ''WesternAnimation/MuchaLucha'' had a three issue mini-series published by Creator/DCComics, with each issue focusing on one of the main trio.
* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' had a one-shot adaptation of the show's first three episodes published by DC, then several stories based on the show published in ''Cartoon Network Action Pack''. In 2013 it got a continuation from IDW that lasted 20 issues. IDW published yet another adaptation in 2017 shortly after the Creator/AdultSwim [[SamuraiJack/TropesSeason5 revival]] ended its run, consisting of a five-issue miniseries called ''ComicBook/SamuraiJackQuantumJack''.
* Every Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse series sans ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheZetaProject'' had its own comic book, usually with the word "Adventures" in the title: ''Comicbook/TheBatmanAdventures'', ''Comicbook/TheSupermanAdventures'', ''Justice League Adventures'' and ''Comicbook/BatmanBeyond''.
* ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' by Harvey Comics, which was based on [[WesternAnimation/BackToTheFuture the animated series]] from the early 1990s.
* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' has it's own comic book series. Over 200 issues have been produced, including two issues focusing on the movies and three Halloween issues, each contained in a monthly magazine. The first twelve are based directly on the episodes of the first season, while the rest focus on other adventures. Howewer is unclear if the comic is canon or more an AlternateUniverse.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' has gotten itself a fair share of comics since the cartoon's debut in 2015. Five comics from Action Labs[[note]] the adapted episode comics, ''Miraculous Adventures'', ''Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug'', ''Miraculous: Tales of Cat Noir'', and ''Tales of Miraculous''[[/note]] and a manga published by Kodansha, which adapts the episodes into a manga-style adventure.
* On July 2015, more than a decade after its cancellation, ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' got [[ComicBook/InvaderZimOni an ongoing continuation comic]] that ran for 50 issues before being rebranded as a quarterly series that didn't go any further than four issues and concluding with a one-shot titled ''The Dookie Loop of Horror''.
* ''ComicBook/LooneyTunes'' had many comics, with the latest title by Warner's sister company Creator/DcComics being an ongoing since 1994.
* ''Comicbook/{{Animaniacs}}'' by DC started just as [[Westernanimation/{{Animaniacs}} the show]] had its ChannelHop to Kids WB, and went on to outlast the cartoon (as well as receiving ''Westernanimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' stories once said spin-off's comic folded).
* ''WesternAnimation/ToxicCrusaders'' had a comic book tie-in published by Creator/MarvelComics that lasted eight issues.
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'' had its own comic book published by Creator/MarvelComics, which lasted 12 issues.
* ''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse'' has had several comic book adaptations, the most notable ones being a series loosely based on ''Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures'' that lasted ten issues and was published in the early 1990's by Creator/MarvelComics and a five-issue miniseries published by Creator/DynamiteComics in 2017.
* In addition to the aforementioned 7-issue series by Marvel Comics, ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' received another comic book series published by Creator/BoomStudios in 2017 that lasted eight issues, followed by a four-issue miniseries also published by Boom! Studios titled ''Rocko's Modern Afterlife'' that began publication in 2019.
