Create and collect comics on your computer

Ever since my Desperate Dan Cow Pie Eater badge arrived in the post in a black plastic wallet when I was about nine I have been an avid fan of the comic book. OK, so I was a Dandy when it was cool to be a Beano but then Dandy always came with a Wham bar and Korky the Cat. And my brother got The Beano. Still I guess you’re not interested in any of this if you’re not from the UK. And even if you are chances are you’re getting a bit bored. I expect you’re one of those Manga people. Or a Marvel. In fact I bet you’ve never even tried Space Dust. Whatever your taste, there are plenty of great apps to read and create your very own comics.
