{{main|Topps Comics}}
Drawing on its established connections with artists, in 1993, Topps created a division of the company to publish comic books.  Known as Topps Comics, its early efforts included several concepts from retired industry legend [[Jack Kirby]], known collectively as the "Kirbyverse". Topps Comics particularly specialized in licensed titles with tie-ins to movies or television series, though it also published a few original series. Its longest-running and best-selling title was ''[[The X-Files (comics)|The X-Files]]'', based on the [[Fox Broadcasting|Fox]] TV show.

These comic books featured former [[Marvel Comics]] editor [[Jim Salicrup]] as its editor-in-chief. Apart from ''The X-Files'', some of the more famous titles included ''[[Lone Ranger]] and [[Tonto]]'' by [[Timothy Truman]], ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess (comics)|Xena: Warrior Princess]]'', ''[[Mars Attacks]]'', and ''[[Zorro]]'', which introduced the famous comics character [[Lady Rawhide]]. With sales stagnating, the company decided to pull out of the comics business in 1998.
