/his/ here...can anyone tell me why are there no good comics/cartoons

Because plastic guillotines aren't great toys for little kids.

>no fall of Rome series
>no Majorian restoring the empire
>no scheming Ricimer
>no civil war between Gallic and Italian senators
>no bishops defending their cities

Damn shame.

For that you need to check Franco-Belgian comics per usual.

American comics will always be dominated by capeshit.

Because you're only here to shitpost. You wouldn't read them anyway, and they would die from lack of sales.

Quick recs:
>if you want some non-fiction
The Cartoon History of the Universe
>if you want some historical fiction
Classics Illustrated
Classical Comics
>if you want something that's completely fictional but feels real
Age of Bronze
>if you're willing to move East
Boxers & Saints
>if you're actually /his/ and not secretly /pol/
Nat Turner
>a fucking leaf

You can also find historical comics amongst US independent comic creators.

Basically anywhere that isn't just the products of two companies from one country on one continent. "Comics" is bigger than that, and you should widen your search accordingly.

Oh yeah, there's stuff like Asterix and Obelix

What do you mean? There have been plenty of comics that take place in historical events, with Rebel by Brian Wood being the most recent.

Some good Japanese manga in that regard as well:
Vinland Saga (vikings)
Cesare (renaissance Italy)
Otoyomegatari (19th century Central Asia)
Historie (Alexander the Great)

They get little attention on /a/ these days.

>set within a historical context
There are quite a few, but considering most cartoons are made to entertain kids historical accuracy isn't their strong point. However Thomas the Tank Engine has (or used to have) actual experts on 1950s-'60s railways working with the show to keep everything accurate, Awdry was a stickler for it and also train autists of all ages enjoy it so a mistake could result in a landslide of letters.

The only cartoons that try to be historically accurate are usually educational ones. Which are normally pretty shit because why not just watch a good documentary? Liberty's Pups is pretty good at being both educational and entertaining and it's well animated, but that's about it.

There's several, but they tend to be made in Europe or Japan, or possibly by small indie publishers.
