Free English comic books are commonly found in CBR (Comic Book Reader) or CBZ (Comic Book Zip) formats, which are essentially archives (RAR or ZIP) containing image files. Other formats include PDF (Portable Document Format) for graphic novels or collected editions, and sometimes EPUB. To read CBR/CBZ files, you'll need a dedicated comic reader application like CDisplayEx, ComicRack, YACReader, or Chunky Comic Reader. PDFs can be opened with Adobe Reader or most web browsers.
