Comics in the genre of urban fantasy, a subgenre of fantasy, placing supernatural elements in a contemporary urban-affected setting. The combination provides the writer with a platform for classic fantasy tropes, quixotic plot-elements, and unusual characters—without demanding the creation of an entire imaginary world. Precursors of urban fantasy are found in popular fiction of the 19th century - and the present use of the term dates back to the 1970s - but much of its audience was established in the 1930s-1950s with the success of light supernatural fare in the movies (and later on television).
