Digital Comics 101
Digital comics are simply folders of images which have been compressed with Zip or Rar (both common archiving tools). This makes it easy for comic creators to create their own digital comics for distribution.
These comic archives are also known as CBZ and CBR files, and are considered the de facto standard for digital comic distribution, in a similar way to how the MP3 format is associated with digital music.
