Electricomics is a digital comics reader app, which gives you free access to innovative digital comics by some of the best writers and artists in the business.

You can read Red Horse by the mighty Garth Ennis. A moving story from World War One, beautifully digitally painted by artist Frank Victoria, whose attention to detail brings every panel to life.

You can read Sway, by Leah Moore and John Reppion, a time travel Sci-Fi story with an interactive twist, drawn in all chronologies by the stunning talent that is Nicola Scott.

You can read Cabaret Amygdala Presents: Second Sight by Peter Hogan. A creepy little horror story in the EC tradition, which uses digital to let the reader build the picture and feel the creeping dread for themselves, drawn by Paul Davidson, who acknowledges your comfort zone, and then fills it full of horrible anyway.

Last but not least, you can read Big Nemo by Alan Moore, whose rejuvenation of Winsor McCays most well known comic character, stays true to the source, but brings Moores trademark depth and gravity to every panel. The art duties fell to Colleen Doran, whose mastery of the form shows in every line.

This app is part of a complete digital comics self-publishing ecosystem which lets you create, package, and publish your own digital comics.

Once you have installed this app, and read the comics, go to www.electricomics.net and download the creator tool (coming soon) to your desktop PC or Mac. It lets you lay out, and package your own comics, and read them in the app.

You can build Infinite Canvas comics, where the reader follows the story from panel to panel in whichever direction it leads.

You can make Panel delivery comics, where you have control of the reading experience at panel level, every panel can be a reveal, and the page is fluid, changing.

The professional comics are a jumping off point, we want you to join in, and push forward what is possible for yourself.

Apart from the four free comics, when you start to make your own Electricomics and read those of other people, the app is ready for you.

Maintain control of your own content. We don’t host it, it’s yours. You store it where you like, make what you want out of it.

Keep a library of your favourite comics, whether they were made by you, your friends, or your greatest heroes, they are all accessible in the same app.

Open Source code is used throughout, and full access to our JavaScript library, so if you can see a piece of functionality you could add to it, the code is there to use, and we can add it to the next update.

Whatever is added to Electricomics remains Open Source, and the property of the community using it.

Take it. Make with it. Improve it. It’s yours.
