- Penny Arcade is not strictly a fan site related to World of Warcraft, but started out as web comic with a large following that often featured World of Warcraft and MMOs as its subject matter. Since their humble beginnings Penny Arcade has branched out into general art for games and gaming sites as well as their own conference and video games. Penny Arcade comics are featured in the official World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade strategy guides by Brady Games.
- Penny Arcade is the extremely successful webcomic drawn by Mike Krahulik and written by Jerry Holkins, although both have an input over the script itself and how the comic should be drawn. It features the two comic characters Johnathan "Gabe" Gabriel and Tycho Brahe, two gamers who have a need to kill each other every so often for a Pac-Man Watch. The comic debuted on November 18, 1998 with new updates appearing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, although when it started, that was not the case. They celebrated their 10th anniversary on November 18, 2008.
- Penny Arcade is an online comic, written by Jerry Holkins and illustrated by Mike Krahulik, about gaming and gamer culture that has run thrice weekly since 1998. Through its usage of very dark, offensive anti-establishment satire, it grew to become one of the most popular webcomics and the creators became figureheads of a pro-consumer, pro-independent movement. The duo have spun their success into a series of video games, a children's charity, and the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) brand of video game and geek culture conventions.

| abstract | - Penny Arcade is the extremely successful webcomic drawn by Mike Krahulik and written by Jerry Holkins, although both have an input over the script itself and how the comic should be drawn. It features the two comic characters Johnathan "Gabe" Gabriel and Tycho Brahe, two gamers who have a need to kill each other every so often for a Pac-Man Watch. The comic debuted on November 18, 1998 with new updates appearing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, although when it started, that was not the case. They celebrated their 10th anniversary on November 18, 2008. They currently use the typeface Blambot Casual for their lettering. On August 27, 2009, the website was given a major face lift featuring a new look with a new comic archive and search listings. The new change also brought along higher resolution comics. It also made old comics have speech bubbles instead of lines. This applied to some old comics, but not all comics with lines. When an upcoming comic is scheduled, occasionally, Gabe will start a live show on Ustream. In his live show, he shows the making of one comic. He normally will alert fans by using his Twitter, or if it's a special comic, he will alert fans by the Penny Arcade website using news posting.

The duo have spun their success into a series of video games, a children's charity, and the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) brand of video game and geek culture conventions. Their relation with minority groups have been problematic over the years, with multiple controversies over the content of both their comics and commentary. While they have joked about rape before, their defense of one strip with a slave saying he is "raped to sleep by the dickwolves" escalated with their attempts to justify themselves instead revealing them to have a deep misperception of what makes casual mentions of rape in humor problematic.
