Comic Life Magiq 1.0.2.1 update released
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.

Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...

This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.

If you're already running 1.0.2c (v10939) you can "Skip This Version".

Head to the plasq downloads page to get the 1.0.2.1 update or update from within Comic Life Magiq.

King Crimson Comics!
Comic Life is great for sharing those funny little moments from school, in the office, or while on worldwide progressive-rock-legends tours.

Robert Fripp and Tony Levin have been sharing the day-to-day stories of touring within one of the most influential prog rock bands - on King Crimson’s 40th Anniversary Tour.

Enjoy the King Crimson Comics here and here.

 Other language support? - 2005/04/17 18:18 What are the plans for further localization of Comic Life? I would love to use this to also create Japanese language comics, but although I see that the app will accept Japanese input (is it Unicode savvy?) it seems to have no way to display Japanese written vertically - essential for 'manga'!

Also, I would very much 'second' the suggestions posted elsewhere for .tif hi-res output. I want to use this app for real published material, not just for web stuff!

Thanx Dave Bull

 Re:Other language support? - 2005/04/17 20:05 Hello Dave!

We're looking at localization issues, including vertical text support. If anyone can talk about their experiences with different mac os x applications that handle vertical text, then that would be wonderful and helpful.

Or any sources on the net as examples of the "real" manga (with vertical Japanese text)?

Finally, can anybody comment on the suitability for Comic Life in the Japanese market - comics there really have a different cultural value.


More export options should be coming soon.

Well, I've got some scanned pages in the Hanga Manga section of my website.

Look in the 'Young Sunday' section ... Dave Bull
