Comic Books Archive

Geeks do love comics, so bare with me when I´am writing about this big comic books archive. You find more than forty comic series and lots of single issues of ever serie. The archive consists of more than 2800 comic books and is a treasure chest for comic book lovers.

Main focus are comic series from the late 40′s to the late 70′s including well known series like Tarzan, Wonder Woman, Freedom Fighters, Green Lantern and The Flash. All issues are available for download as .cbr files which are nothing else than renamed .rar files. You can simply unrar the files or use a special cbr viewer like Cdisplay to view them directly without unraring them first.

Update: The Comic Books Archive online library links currently to 902 comic books. All you need to do to access the comics is to click on the catalog link in the main navigation bar. This displays a list of all series that are available on the site.

Just click on a series to be taken to a page that is listing all available books. Books are displayed with their name, publication date and availability on the site. Available comics can be downloaded in cbr format with a left-click. There is unfortunately no option to read the comics directly on the site.

The site has not been updated for over a year, which suggests that it is no longer actively maintained by its creator. New functionality or comic books have not been added to the site since then. Still, with 902 comic books to download, this site has much to offer for comic book lovers.

I’d also suggest to check out the link section which links to other websites where you find information and downloads for additional comic book series.

    The site is still down.

    I think Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern would still be under copyright in US. Perhaps they got taken down due to a copyright complaint or something?

  3. Martin says:

    Luke I don´t think it went down because of copyright complaints but because of bandwidth restrictions. I think the site made it to diggs frontpage as well and that might be the reason.
