Comics?!! I don't have time for Comics -- too busy with Sudokus and
Crosswords!

Heya Emily, comic books hey? ;)
Not sure if this is common knowledge here but jpg, gif and png
images zipped, aced, tared or rar'd into an archive can be viewed
nicely using CDisplay on a windows machine* without having to unzip
the archives.
(* or see this thread for mac users:

the windows program
http://www.geocities.com/davidayton/CDisplay.html
often the rar'd file extension is changed from *.rar to *.cbr (comic
book reader), but an archive of zip,ace,tar or rar can be opened by
this freeware program without having to change the file extension if
you don't want to.
Options allow full page viewing against whatever background colour
you choose, 2 page spreads, magnifier (moving the cursor over the
image achieves thie effect) and keyboard/mouse clicks to advance or
back up through the archive.
it's a small (less than 2Mb) fast program and for geeks like me who
like carting their programs around with them in a portable fashion,
the whole directory can be copied to a flash drive and run from
there wherever one chooses.
it also makes a very nice simple presentation tool in this way as
well - plug in the flash drive, open the program, navigate to the
archive and away you go. simple clean and fast
