Geeks love comic books, and old geeks… well… you get it! Here is an on-line archive of comic books that are very cool! Check it out! The comics are archived as image files in a file with a “cbr” extension. Simply rename the extension to “rar” and they can be “uncompressed” with IZarc (one of my Geek Software of the Week files!) Then, you can view them with a good image viewer. Rock on!
From the site FAQ:
“The cbr format is simply a renamed winrar file. The cbr files are a series of jpg files (pictures), compressed into one file for easy storage and access. One comic equals one file. To view the comic you must either uncompress it with the correct software or use a viewing program like cdisplay.”
