I haven't made a web comic yet but in this one: Postcards in Braille46 the main character (Sigma) is blind.
It has a great art style and storyline I really enjoyed it!

Not yet, but in my long comic (starting next year), I will have a kid with Down syndrome and some people will have disabilities (soldiers coming back from war run a very high risk of that).

EDIT: I forgot to mention that Sekhmet suffers from severe PTSD and is suicidal (how in the world I forgot that about my main character, I have no idea). There is a lot more to her, but spoilers be damned I also have another character who is deaf on one ear. It's someone really close to Sekhmet, but I can't mention this character's name, due to more spoilers.

And the link to my comic is here8. It's called The Green-Eyed Sniper.

Thank you @Sarah for recommending Postcards in Braille. It's great!

No problem I love your comic btw!

never thought anything about it...
look like a good idea for the future.

Yes.

In Grassblades21, Masahiro is missing his left hand from the wrist down, and it is a central part of the story. The other main character, Akane, is a selective mute8.

Both of their disabilities are caused by violence or trauma, and they were not born with them, which means they approach it a bit differently than if they'd had their entire lives to get used to it. Masahiro in particular has not yet gotten used to the idea that his dominant hand is no longer there (he was left-handed), and still carries his sword on what is now the wrong side of his body, etc. He also hides his injury from view, and pretends it isn't there.

Thank you so much, guys!! u//v//u

Well Postcards already got mentioned, but I'm also planning another webcomic which also has a couple more disabled characters (and a lot more characters in general, it's a big thing) I can't wait to get to it!

PS: the Satrians are super cute?? Read it now imo

In Echo13, the main character, which is Echo, is mute from birth. She doesn't use sign language because no one understand it, and writes on paper instead. (and I must say I also know very, very little about using sign-language, though it's a language I'd like to learn)

Hrodland got night terrors and depression. It's still not a big disable, but it can drive crazy or even more depressed. This also explain why he's reluctant at talking to people and always angry. He lacks of sleep right now in the story.

The archmage is an albino, does it count? XD He can't stay where there is light, but he tries to protect himself with his cloak if he has to meet someone. Otherwise, he stays in the dark all day, making him even more frightening than what he is already.

At least four characters are one-eyed (three "main" and one very minor), one of them got a glass eye. Another one (a very, very minor) is mute because of his tongue cut. One minor character is half deaf, iirc... but I don't remember who it is... (bad, bad me)
And I'm working on a villain with a trauma that lead him crazy.

... got a lot of disable characters, with a higher rate for the one-eyed guys... XD
As a lot of them are warriors, they got scars and maybe lost something, so it's quite normal.

I won't say who because spoilers but one of my characters becomes deaf at one point in Time Gate, and another one loses their left eye.

I wont say the specific characters (NO SPOILERS FOR U)
I have plenty of disabled/going to be disabled characters
some deaf, some that lose limbs and have to get prosthetics, some blind, and even some that r mute (or at least better off that way only because their voices r RLY loud n so high-pitched...)
plus, if scars count, I got plenty more with scars. but only because all my characters fight in wars when its necessary (the major war-events, or Supernal Realm Wars as I call them, r the only times when all my characters in my upcoming story Hybrid HAVE to fight)

All my characters in my comic16 are disabled, actually.

Anselm/Topher/that lot - are first of all a system. theyre autistic, with other stuff going on too. also because of their situation (raised from the dead and shit) they have little to no immune system or healing factor and without their superpower would probably die instantly.

moran - has bpd, and is autistic. she often goes nonverbal.

david - has ptsd, and possibly hpd

peter - has multiple learning difficulties as well as autism, and has npd and hpd. hes also a survivor

maria - is autistic and has adhd

darwin (the one who calls himself remus lupin in comic) - is hard of hearing, autistic, and psychotic.

novex - is mobility disabled and uses a cane at all times, and a wheelchair for long journeys. xes also asthmatic and extremely short sighted. xes autistic and dissociative.

theyre all disabled because, well, i am. so why not?

I actually do have a character that's mute! Or deaf, that hasn't been revealed yet.
Though, she doesn't turn up until like half the series is up, but she does play an important part later on in Beyond the Ordinary4. (I wish I could've introduced her earlier D: )
Beive's kinda oblivious to this fact, and just thinks that Louise is a bit odd. And Louise is probably just gonna roll with it.

In high school, I used to take classes at Swedish Sign Language, it was fascinating! I wish it was more incorporate in school though, I've met a lot of people within the comic culture that's deaf/mute so I wish I could use it myself better.
One of the reasons that I brought Louise in, was mainly the fact I needed practice in both the sign language and how to actually draw hands.

Well I have a character that suffers from ptsd but I can't say who it is right now. I also have a character that is mostly color blind and is lacking an arm. Though she isn't introduced yet!

For Stormspectrum5 I have Typhoomerang who has only one eye, though he modified a device that allows him to record what he is supposed to see and connects it with his overall view.

I have one in my comic Shards: The Shattered World7, but she's a ways off from showing up as the comic only has a few pages so far.

I haven't decided what her disability is yet, but it involves needing a wheelchair most of the time. She can walk a little, but not very much at all before she has to stop. I feel those who are not paralyzed but still need a wheelchair are some of the least represented people of the disabled community, with writers too often using the disabled person standing as a way to shock the audience about that 'terrible faker.'

I loathe that trope. People in wheelchairs have enough suspicion directed their way already and those examples don't help. I feel that there needs to be more examples of non-paralyzed characters who still actually need wheelchairs to promote awareness that disability is not a binary state, there are many levels in between.

I feel strongly about this, being disabled myself. Sorry for the mini-rant. ^^

Not main characters, but End. ( http://tapastic.com/series/42669 ) is gonna have a blind character, and a character with a prosthetic leg. Like... The ones that I already have more story and design planned are these two. I guess it is important to say that they are dead (they all are, the story is about after life)

... And Vincent (one main character in End.) has memory problems, he has a hard time learning how to use new technology, and has to take notes on everybody's names and faces, a map of how to get to his own room. I don't know if it counts.

In Vatican Assassin7s, one of the main characters is deaf from birth and communicates in sign language. It's been a great way to practice drawing hands!

A good amount of them, however unless it's a physical trait I really don't like listing them under labels, it's just... uncomfortable for me. I struggle enough dealing with disabilities in real life (with both myself and family members), so including them in my stories can sometimes get very difficult because it just hits too close to home.

If people can spot these ques in my characters and relate that's cool, but I don't often do the "They are like this BECAUSE OF DIAGNOSES---" thing unless it directly relates to the plot / dialog in the story. It's the same as it is in real life, I don't like being introduced by my disabilities or sexuality before I'm actually introduced as a person.

Daniel2 has a horrible case of vampirism which leaves him unable to keep food down, feel physical touch, has a severe allergy to sunlight, has regular shakes and is also clinically dead with black, tarry blood. It's also changed him mentally and he seems to have something akin to a supernatural form of Dissosiative Identity Disorder. His only treatment is regular intake of human life to ease the shakes and dead feeling.

......very, very sorry, I had to. XD

well I have one, her name is healer... she is dumb check it out here http://tapastic.com/episode/1774963

Oh god I agree with this so much! While I myself am able-bodies, my best friend has a condition "POTS" meaning they have times where they are perfectly able to walk, but others where they cannot. My friend usually just always uses a wheelchair when going out because of the fear of being accused of being a "faker" and such and because people treat you better when they think you can't leave a wheelchair, apparently. :,(

I have a couple but I can't name off who because spoilers. >.<
But I have characters that have the following...

PTSD

Selective Mutism

A character that is completely blind

One character I have seems to show some signs of Reactive Attachment Disorder especially during her childhood years which I did completely by accident before I knew about the disorder xD but due to her past I seemed to have done a good job in making her current behavior pretty accurate although RAD is considered vary rare.

I don't know if this really counts as disabled, but Gunther from Outcast Kingdom2 is headless. Clearly, it's not a real world disability, but he can't talk, smell things, taste food-- or even eat. But he can see and hear, somehow. So... kind of?

No, why should I? Tell me a reason

We have a disabled character as one of our leading dudes in Kamikaze9. His name is Toshi, and he's our main characters father. He can't see normally, and frankly he's fine with that. He's a writer, an amazing cook, and an awesome dad, but sometimes it's hard for other characters to expect much out of him, because all they see is his disability. The good news is, Toshi's a lot more capable than anyone gives him credit for. Ultimately, he's a dad, and his blindness has never impeded his ability to love his little girl. <3

I have a character in my comic who is disabled but I can't say who that is because of spoilers xD
But yeah, I think is pretty interesting to have disabled characters in a story but also it's a challenge (I'm usually afraid of not being able to represent them well ) so I think doing a lot of research is definitely a must.

Initially, I started my comic project out with a blind character among the mains, but since I reworked it over and over, he lost his meaning somehow. I now have a character with a similar condition to autism in the main cast.
