About Copyrighting my comic?
Alright, so I now know that I have to copyright my comic characters and likenesses and trademark the logo and company logo, BUT when I'm applying for the copyrights, does my comic fall under Literary work or visual art works? Thanks.
Answers:
Yes, 'visual arts', unless the text is 'preponderant' element.
See Copyright Office Circular 44: Cartoons and Comic Strips (which also mentions registration of comic books, 'multiple cartoons published as a unit').

I believe comics are considered visual arts.
