Title: Webcomic Writer just Joined!
Post by: SympleSymon on June 15, 2008, 01:51:56 PM

Hey, guys, just wanted to stop by here and say hi! I'm currently working on several webcomic projects over on DrunkDuck (the link to my main comic, Retake, is my homepage link! I'll add it to my siggy as soon as I find out how). But I'm also starting a new comic called "PowerPatriot: The Golden Years" (PowerPatriot is the famous hero the main character of "Retake" portrays in numerous movies - he was a living legend that's become the world's biggest superhero franchise!) that will be set in - as the title hints - the Golden Age.

My only problem? Well, save for the old issues in the back of my Marvel Collector's Editions of Spiderman, I haven't read any Golden Age comics (and heck, I'm not even sure those comics go as far back as the 40s-50s...maybe I'm wrong). Anyway, I joined here as a way to 'research the field' (ie, have lots of fun reading comics!)...but I still can't seem to download any comics...is there a post or time limit I have to reach before I can download files?

Thanks,

EDIT: Never mind, they seem to be downloading now...but what the heck is a cbr file? What program do I need to view the comics?

Welcome aboard. As to how to "read" the comics you downloaded try this thread for help on that: How to view Comics (CBZ or CBR (http://goldenagecomics.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10.0.html)
Enjoy your stay here.
