3 Million Years

There are other publishers out there who have their own apps – these can be standalone comics or storefront apps. I will try to keep this as up to date as possible. These include Rok Comics, Oxi Comics, Commando Comics, Tabella Publishing, Viz Media and Archie Comics.

ROK Comics publishes comics for mobile, including iPhone. We also run successful paid WAP subscription services.

Current apps by Rok Comics are:

• Ligeia the Vampire comprises 40 episodes of vampire, zombie and wartime menace, inspired by the story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe. Drawn in a style echoing the work of Alex Toth, Frank Miller and Alberto Breccia, the strip pays homage to HP Lovecraft and movies like La Maschera del Demonio.

• Mobile Gospel is a quirky but fun re-telling of the gospel of Luke, the creation of Rich Diesslin, based on the book of Luke from his Cartoon Gospel Series (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).

• Madd Science is a humour strip – the clue to its content is in the title! – by Steve English won the Rok comics competition a couple of years back, judged by the editor of the Beano, so it seemed a no brainer to include it in this first tranche of iPhone releases.

Oxicomics is a Norwegian company dedicated to allowing existing and new comic artists the ability to publish their comics on mobile devices. The company was created in January 2010 and the first released comics were out in June 2010.

Currently we support Apple iPhone and we adapt each comic page to the small screen.

Commando digital subscription lets you read each month’s Commando adventures – that’s eight issues a month – on your PC, iPhone, and iPad. Plus you get four free issues when you sign up!. It’s action and adventure in digital form.

A monthly payment of £4.99 lets you enjoy all eight issues of action and adventure per month on all your supported devices – you don’t need to pay again to read your comics on another device.

That’s a saving of 37% on print prices! Plus four free digital issues delivered with the app.

Your subscription starts as soon as you sign up, and you can cancel at any time.

The artwork takes full advantage of the screen size to deliver the best experience on your device. You can download issues from your collection at any time, delete them if you need room, and then redownload later. You’ll never have to worry about running out of space. You can also manage, sort and view your digital collection at commandocomics.com.

• The iPad and iPhone apps are free to download through the Apple iTunes App Store and a digital subscription is priced at £4.99 per month, compared to a £99 annual print subscription. For those not sure there are 4 free issues to download prior to making a purchase.

• Commando Comics iPhone App on iTunes


• Commando Comics iPad App on iTunes

• Official Commando web site:www.commandocomics.com

Here at Tabella Publishing we’re interested in all things graphic, arty, visual, colourful, witty, funny and generally amazing. We’re keen to hear from graphic artists/novelists and other artists interested in seeing their work in print.
