Best 5 Digital Comic Book Apps
The emergence of new technology has also impacted
the world of comics and changed the way we use to
consume it. Comics have had been digitalized and
transformed into apps that allow users to read
their favorite digital comics and also arrange
their comic collections and series. Here, in this
article you will get a list of most favourite
comic apps to be used with your mobile
devices Comics by cosmetology (Android/ iOS)
(Free) One of the most popular apps in the
digital world of comics is certainly Comixology.
It features your favorite comics from major comic
publishers like Marvel, DC, and many others
through which the readers can purchase and read
from the website of Mangafox app download
Cosmetology. Comixolgy's mobile app runs on
Android as well as iOS platform and also allows
users to download contents from the website. For
reading comics on small screen phones, you can
use a "Guided View" mode but the worst part of it
is that it works only for Comixology purchases
and one cannot import it from an existing comic
collection neither can one buy it as an in-app on
iOS. Apps from Marvel and DC also use similar
patterns of app usage along with providing a
publisher oriented collection.
Dark Horse Comics (Android, iOS) (Free) Although,
Comixology is a popular app but other publishers
have also established their own apps and market
platforms. One of them is Dark Horse Comics
(Android iOS) that features some hit franchises,
some of which are Star Wars, Mass Effect, Aliens,
and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It has an extensive
collection of manga and manhwa, Sin City, and
Hellboy. To talk of its visuals, it has certainly
a smooth Comic's guided view but lacks a smoother
operation of panel-to-panel view. Apart from all,
it has best right to left reading modes in order
to support Dark Horse's extensive manga series
collection.
2000 AD (iOS) (Free)

The 2000 AD supports iOS only and opens platform
for users with a selection of free 2000 AD comics
and magazines. It provides options to subscribe

and also the weekly 200AD comics anthology.
Moreover, you can now purchase individual issues
or also pick from one of its subscription
selections and save it on the series. Marvel
Unlimited (Android, iOS) (9.99/mo) In spite of
purchasing titles, users can get access to a pond
of comics through Marvel Unlimited app from
Marvel comics' archives. For accessing, users can
get a monthly subscription with 10 or 70 for a
year and get uninterrupted access to more than
13,000 publications or issues from several
classic titles of Marvel. But one of the most,
non-interesting fact about it is that to gain
access and read, you need to be online although
one can bookmark up to 12 issues in order to read
online and explore the awesome tales of Marvel.
ComicRack (Android, iPad) (Free / 7.99) With

EReader
Over the past few years, the iPad has experienced
tremendous growth, at around 2000 sales per hour.
The types of people that buy a iPad tend to have
an array of interests. Some purchase it simply so
they can have one, while others may purchase one
for gaming, and then you have those who are still
on the fence on whether or not they need one. In
this article I intend to examine the iPad as an
eReading device listing both the advantages and
disadvantages of using this device for that
specific purpose.
3
The advantages - The iPad is capable of
supporting a fairly substantial number of file
formats ppt, doc, docx, pdf, cbr. If you have a
book that needs reading within a short time
period, then that's no problem. Maybe you want to
read the latest comic book or manga, that's also
no problem. The only drawback is that this
devices ability to support a variety of file
formats is not native. You will need to purchase
an external App in order to do this. Don't like
the idea of having to purchase an app to do
something on the iPad, which should be available
by default? The iPad also comes with iBooks app.
This is a store, which has support from
Macmillian Publishers, Penguin Books, Simon
Schuster and Hachette Book Group USA. The main
advantage of using this app is that it has
support for interactive books. Users are able to
watch videos, rotate images and talk to others
while reading a book. For those of you who are
visually impaired, this app supports text to
sound. The disadvantages - The iPad comes with an
LCD display that is backlit. Unlike with the
e-ink technology on other eReaders, the iPad can
cause irritation to your eyes after long usage.
The most effective way of preventing eye
irritation is to ensure that you blink regularly
and to also adopt the 20/20/20 rule, which is to
look 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20
minutes, both of these methods can be rather
annoying however. The iPad doesn't come with
native support for ppt/cbr/doc/pdf viewing, which
means you will have to spend money on something
that should come as standard with the
device. Should you go with the iPad or invest
your money in a traditional e-ink based eReader
like Kindle and Sony Reader. If you are only
interested in reading eBooks, with very little
interest in doing anything else, then I would
have to recommend that you invest in the
traditional eReader. However, for those of you
who would like to read books and also experience
mobile computing at its finest, then I'd
recommend you go with the iPad. Writing and
Selling a Childrens Graphic Novel The newest,
most vibrant category to emerge in the volatile
world of book publishing is the Children's
Graphic Novel. That's a distinction that may be
lost on some folks who may still believe that
graphic novels, which are essentially comics
printed in book form, are all for children.
Fortunately most people are more enlightened
these days and realize that graphic novels are,
in fact, written for just as many audiences and
types of readers as traditional books. The
confusion arises because "graphic novel" has been
used to describe just about every type of book
featuring comics, other than manga (Japanes
comics). Unlike other sections of the bookstore,
such as "Mystery," "Science Fiction," or
"Romance," "Graphic Novels" is not the name of a
genre, but a category. Like "Audio Books," which
can also encompass a multitude of genres,
"Graphic Novels" are not just one type of book.
In other words, until recently every type of
graphic novel has simply been stacked together in
one section regardless of content. The good news
is that the Children's Graphic Novel is the first
genre to break free from the generic Graphic
Novel section. A wise move on many levels,
especially because bookstores need to be
sensitive to customers needs-particularly parents
who don't wish to inadvertently purchase
inappropriate material for their kids.
4
So as a new section is carved out of the
always-crowded bookstore shelves, astute
publishers recognize the need for material to
fill this new demand. And that's when ambitious
writers start sniffing around to see if they can
get in on this new craze. But what do they really
need to know if they hope to actually sell a
Children's Graphic Novel to a publisher? Let's
take a look at, and answer, some of the most
commonly asked questions... 1) Do I need to be an
artist? No, but it doesn't hurt if you are, and
your proposal should include either the entire
finished Children's Graphic Novel or a sizeable
sample. If you're not an artist, then you will
need to find one. Comics are obviously a visual
medium, so even if you're not an artist, it's
important to think visually. If you want to keep
a kid's attention throughout your Children's
Graphic Novel, it's important to keep the
graphics as compelling and as exciting as your
script. If either the story or the artwork
appears boring, why would any kid want to read
your graphic novel? For the best guidance check
out Will Eisner's Comics and Sequential Art, Will
Eisner's Graphic Storytelling and Visual
Narrative, and ScottMcCloud's Understanding
Comics The Invisible Art.

2) How do I find a Childrens Graphic Novel
artist? There are many ways. One is by attending
comicbook conventions, especially those in large
cities that feature portfolio reviews. Many
professional or would-be comicbook artists attend
these conventions hoping to find work from
attending comicbook editors. Simply introduce
yourself to these artists, explain that you're
hoping to find an artist to work with to propose
a Children's Graphic Novel. Don't feel obligated
to work with the first artist who is willing to
work with you. It may be best to suggest that
you're looking for the right artist for your
project, and that you'll need to review the work
of several artists to find the one that's right.
Another way to find an artist is by reviewing the
samples posted on deviantart.com

3) Do I need a contract with the artist?
To be safe, it's probably best to have a written
agreement between yourself and your artist before
you actually start working together. For the best
legal advise it's always best to consult an
attorney. But if that's not practical, you should
get an agreement in writing between yourself and
your artist that spells out as much as possible,
as specifically as possible. You want to be as
fair, so the goal of the agreement is to your
mutual expectations and goals, and to make
allowances for either party to be able to walk
away if things don't work out. No matter what,
you should be clear that the copyright to your
story is yours alone. The copyright to the
artwork can belong to the artist. 4) Is there
an app that I can use to format my script? There
may well be, but you don't need it. A comics
script is similar to play, television, and film
scripts, except it's divided into pages rather
than scenes. While dialogue scenes can last for
pages on end, especially in plays, comics and
graphic novels are limited to how much art and
dialogue can realistically fit on a physical
page. It would be wise to study graphic novels
that are similar to what you hope to do to get a
clear idea of the word count in the word balloons
and captions. Keep in mind, there are no hard and
fast rules. If you wish to have sequences told
without any dialogue at all, where you let the
pictures tell the story (like the many thrilling
silent sequences in Alfred Hitchcock films or in
the imaginative wordless sequences in Brian
Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret), it's
important that you give your artist as much
information as possible. Unlike most modern movie
screenplays that leave out character and set
descriptions, as well as detailed information for
each and every shot, comics scripts should have
as much information for the artist as
possible. 5) Where can I see a sample
script? Like everything these days, you can
probably find many comicbook scripts online. The
basics are fairly simple, as the short sample
page illustrates Mister Snuggles Title of
Children's Graphic Novel Page Five This is the
fifth comics page, not necessarily the 5th script
page Panel One (Mr. Snuggles is running to the
front door of the apartment with a teddy bear in
his mouth.) Description of artwork for first
panel. Caption 1 It's 600 PM and even though
Mr. Snuggles can't tell time, he somehow knows
when Cortney is due home. Text for first
caption. Panel Two (Close-up of Cortney's hand
inserting her key into the apartment's front door
lock. The key is on a key chain containing other
keys and a small figurine of a dog that looks
very much like Mr. Snuggles.) SFX K-CLICK Sound
Effect. Panel Three (The apartment door opens,
and Cortney is thrilled to see Mr. Snuggles.
Snuggles is also visibly happy to see Cortney and
she bows down to pet him. Mr. Snuggles has
dropped his teddy bear so that he can lick
Cortney's face.) Caption 2..and he's always
there to give her a warm welcome...Note
numbering of captions and word balloons is by the
page, not by the panel or throughout the entire
book. So Caption 2 indicates that this is the 2nd
caption or word balloon on the page.

Cortney 3 Hey, I'm happy to see you too, little
feller! SFX SLURP! 6) How do I know how many
panels to place on a page? It depends on how big
your printed page size will be, and how much you
have happening within your panels. European
graphic novels tend to be larger than American
graphic novels, and contain far more panels per
page, yet the format has not proven to be that
popular in the United States. Even classics such
as Tintin have been reformatted into smaller
books in recent years. Standard American comics,
which are about 6 1/21' x 10" tend to average
from four to six panels per page, which is fewer
panels per page than was the norm decades ago.
Manga or digest-sized comics will either have
fewer panels per page or far more simplified page
layouts. But again, there are no rules-as soon as
an uncommonly sized Children's Graphic Novel
becomes a bestseller, it's guaranteed that other
Children's Graphic Novel publishers will start
publishing at that size. 7) What type of
subject matter is taboo? That's a tricky
question, and the answer truly depends on the
publisher. Most major publishers hope to sell as
many Children's Graphic Novels as possible,
especially to schools and libraries, and are not
too eager to test the boundaries of what's
acceptable and what's not, preferring to play it
safe. Other more daring independent publishers
may be more willing to tackle controversial
issues, in a politically correct fashion, to
generate publicity and attention. Because
Children's Graphic Novels are so visual, they're
quite often even more conservative than many
traditional Children's Books. While certain
questionable words or scenes exist in such
classics as Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer or Daniel
Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, they're buried in the
book's text, while any type of controversial
scene could easily be taken out of context, by
holding up the page before TV news cameras and
pretending to be shocked at what the evil
publishers are feeding to our innocent children.
As a result, most of the people who buy
Children's Graphic Novels for bookstores,
schools, or libraries are careful to avoid
ordering anything risky or controversial. The end
result being that many kids may find the content
in certain Children's Graphic Novels to be far
too tame or juvenile for them. This poses is a
constant challenge to publishers-to provide
Children's Graphic Novels that can get past the
overly protective gate-keepers and still be
entertaining and hip enough for today's kids.
8) Do I need an agent? While many traditional
publishing houses still insist on exclusively
dealing with agents, many graphic novel
publishers are willing to work directly with
authors and artists. Because this is still such a
relatively new development in the world of
traditional book publishing, the doors still
remain open to creators without agents. Even
literary agents haven't quite figured out how to
respond to the demands of this new category.
Children's Graphic Novels aren't quite the same
thing as Children's Books. In fact, most
Children's Books editors will not even look at a
Children's Book proposal that comes with an
artist attached, while editors looking at
Children's Graphic Novel proposals wouldn't know
how to find an artist for a graphic novel at this
point.
9) How do I find a publisher?
7
If you have an agent, that would be the agent's
job. Without an agent you need to be willing to
do a lot of research. Many authors make the
mistake of considering only existing Children's
Graphic Novel publishers as their only potential
publishers. The truth is that many traditional
publishers may consider publishing a Children's
Graphic Novel if it's something they believe
they're uniquely suited to publish. For example,
a business book publisher may have no interest in
publishing a Children's Graphic Novel about a
squad of dragon-fighting pixies, but they may be
interested in publishing a graphic novel that
attempts to explain basic business concepts-how a
checking account works, for example-to children.
Publications such as Publishers Weekly can offer
a good overview of the book-publishing field and
can provide invaluable information on countless
publishers. Also, self-publishing has become far
more common as the technology for print-on-demand
has advanced. No longer is there a stigma
attached to what used to be called "vanity press"
publishing as more and more authors eliminate the
middleman and self-publish. 10) Does my
Childrens Graphic Novel have to be published as
a physical book? No, it could be published as an
ebook, especially as such technological
breakthroughs as Apple's iPad make it possible
for full-color, lavishly illustrated Children's
Graphic Novels to be viewed on a screen as they
were meant to be seen. Of course, it's still very
early, and the question is-do enough children
possess this kind of expensive hardware to make
it financially worthwhile to be available
exclusively in such a format? At this point, it
makes more sense to have a digital version
available as an additional option, and not the
exclusive format
