Title: Military Comics
Post by: Golden Superman Prime on November 21, 2008, 01:42:13 AM

I downloaded the first, and read it, but at LEAST #2 and 3 are defunct.

Any way of fixing this?

I've no idea what's going on GSP.  I've just downloaded #2 and it works fine for me.
The files themselves appear to be fine as far as I can tell.

Have you read the FAQ on the subject here?
http://goldenagecomics.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10.0.html

Note especially:
These are free software image viewing programs designed specifically for reading digital comic book files, particularly those in .cbr and .cbz formats (and .rar and .zip formats, if they haven't had their file extensions changed to .cbr and .cbz yet).
If you rename your '.CBR' file to '.RAR' you can OPEN the folder with WinRar (a pay program) or perhaps a freeware application that can handle RAR files (TUGZip has been suggested).  You can extract the files into a new folder and then recreate the file again to read them in CDisplay or just read them with the freeware app Irfranview found here:

Working fine for me too. I went and tried again.  :-\  ??? Although the first time, I tried several times without success.

Thanks Yoc. I'll keep the advice in mind for future problems and check out TUGZip, because my WinRar trial appears to be almost over.

I apologize profusely for the false alarm.

Any idea what us Mac users can use to read these files (books) without unpacking them???

These are the ones I know work with the Mac's: Comic Book Lover, FFview, Simple Comic, Comic Reader Pro, Comical, Cooviewer, Comic Book Viewer. That's all the ones I know of, nothing new has come out for awhile now. That should help you out some.
