You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.

One artist's opinion: I think for historical artistic works, it's appropriate to use the name the artist used when the work was created, especially if the signature is part of the work. If an artist rereleases art under a new name, that attribution would be preferred (assuming it is actually them and not a ripoff, not sure how to manage that). Old works could still be reposted but with an annotation.

After a quick search I came across the Grand Comics Database which doesn't cover deadnames specifically, but it does have a protocol for handling pseudonyms. I am partial to the term "Ghost name". I might even start using it myself instead of deadname, because they do tend to linger.
