The Comical application was designed to be a comic downloader and viewer that utilises a custom-built framework for the parsing and downloading of comics from websites. The framework uses an open XML format that allows anyone to add support for additional comics.

There is full support for comic archiving and browsing. If archiving is enabled (within the Settings window), Comical will archive any downloaded comics; these comics can then be browsed as required via the navigation buttons located in the top-right of the main application window

Requirements:

· Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
