previous_comic(linktext,titletext,always) — display a link to the previous comic
Displays a link to the previous comic in the archive. If the reader is already viewing the first comic, displays nothing.
The linktext argument can contain HTML code, and it's not uncommon to see <img> tags used therein, to display arrows. A single arrow pointing left is a common symbol for "Previous Comic."
