The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.

I understand that comments can help you writing the code. It is best practice to only place comments where they are needed for understanding. The code should be self explanatory and comments should mainly explain why things are written in a specific way.

From https://mitcommlab.mit.edu/broad/commkit/coding-and-comment-style/

The most important concept here is that the code itself is the primary means of commenting and documentation.
Use comments only to add context or explain choices that cannot be expressed through thoughtful naming, structure or the context of operations.

You could write the comments during the development and then remove them before committing it. Try to use less of them over time

imgComic.src = data.img;
// Append the img to the comic container
comicDiv.appendChild(imgComic);
} catch (error) {
// Catch and log any errors
console.log(error);
}
}

// Call the function
getComic();
