About Memento Mori Obituary Comics

Editorial method, source standards, and publishing notes for Memento Mori Obituary Comics.

Memento Mori Obituary Comics is a static visual archive of short biographical comics about people who faced death, illness, violence, exile, or loss and still made work that survived them.

How subjects are selected

Each subject needs a clear mortality pressure point and a body of work or thought that changed after, survived beyond, or was clarified by that encounter.

Source standards

Each comic page lists sources in crawlable HTML. The preferred source trail is a mix of reference works, museums, primary collections, and reputable editorial accounts.

Format

The reader preserves the comic as images and PDF, while the page also includes text summaries, story notes, and structured data so search engines and AI systems can understand the work without relying on image OCR.

Publisher

The archive is maintained as a small open-source publishing system for durable comic permalinks, crawlable source notes, and stable media delivery.
