Download CLASSIC COMIC BOOKS from the Internet!!


One of the saddest days of my abbreviated childhood was when I came home and asked Momz, "Where my comic books at?" Guess what she said? That's right, she threw them out. She tried to lie and say there was a flood, which had to be bullsh#t because we lived on the 8th floor. But its all good, here's why - the Internet!!

On the Internet there is a large group of people that scan and upload classic and current comics for stunted adults like myself to find. Here's how:

  1. Pull up Google search
  2. Most comics on the Internet have a .cbr or .cbz extension for use with a digital comic reader like CDisplay (Windows) or FFView (MacOS). These are free downloads, so do that now. If not, you can decompress the files and read them in any image viewer. Just rename the cbr extension to rar or the cbz extension to zip and decompress with an application such as 7-Zip or WinRAR
  3. Now look for comics:
    Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics cbr
    or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics cbz

    The extension is sometimes left alone and kept as a rar or zip file. To look for these files, use these searches:
    Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics rar
    or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics zip

    For title specific searches, substitute the title for the word comics in your search. Examples:
    -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" spider-man cbr
    and -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" simpsons cbr
While some directories only have a few comix, there are others that will keep you fed for weeks. Thank us later, you've got reading to do!!
