Comics pretty much died in the 1980s.
Nearly all comics now only appeal to nostalgia or are indie webcomics
Just look at 2000AD it's a perfect example. When it started it was just one of money comics in it's genre but all it's rivals collapsed one by one leaving 2000AD as the only one left. They only one left by the year 2000AD. It only survived by feeding on it's reader's nostalgia and to an extent becoming more mature as the average of the reader matured with it. What was once a children's comic is now aimed at adults because that's the only way it could survive.

Comics died in the late 90s because they refused to get with the times.
Cinemas and tv is what is keeping the genre alive, in life support.

I thought I was insulting 2000AD. It's a shitty kid's comic which got lucky.

They died well before that. They released very few new comics in the 90s. In the 80s loads of comics folded and publishers daren't release new ones. Video games killed them.
