Given how long the Wiki's been around, it's not often anymore that a user hits on a unique issue, but I think you may have found one!

The Image Policy itself isn't of much use on the subject, so we turn to the Tutorial (my tutorial with images, while, if I may say so, very handy for the how-tos of images, is somewhat lacking in the whys). The Tutorial has the following (relevant) notes:
 * "Images are a major part of a wiki's content. Although the bulk of the information on any given page is textual content, images enhance what is being said, and attractive images generally enhance the content that they go along with. Adding relevant images to your articles is highly recommended, so long as they are not overused." (emphasis added)

From that, I glean that images play a supporting role in articles; they shouldn't be the point of the article or the primary vehicle through which the story is told. I'm not going to give you a uselessly vague standard like "in moderation", but neither does "absolutely not" seem either fair or consistent with the Policy. So here's my ruling: You may use a gallery to feature no more than ten (10) comic panel images (yes, you may have multiple panels on one "page" like a real comic book page, but no, you may not put 10,000 panels into a multi-GB single file and call it "one page", that's cheating). If the comic story requires more than ten (10) pages of panels, you must either provide an offsite link or (probably the better solution) post a selection of the pages and provide an offsite link (using your selection to whet the reader's appetite).

Thanks for raising an intriguing issue! Reply to this message if you have any questions or need clarification.
