Graphic Novels in Your Media Center: A Definitive Guide by Lyga, Allyson and Lyga, Barry. (June 30, 2004) p. 162, →ISBN [bold in original] The plural of comic is typically used as a singular (as "politics" is) to refer to the entire medium or industry. Hence, "comics industry" or "comics creators."
