Template:Cite comic/doc

This template is the parent template for all comic citations. It calls Cite publication which is based on Wikipedia cite journal template. Use this template to create sub-templates for specific comic stories so that you and others may reference them in articles on this wiki, but first look through Category:Comic citation templates to make sure someone hasn't already made a template for the work you want to reference. You can view all the various citation templates, including books, magazines, video games, trading cards, and web-sourced citations here. For help citing sources with pre-made templates, see Help:Citing sources.
