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.

Enjoy the King Crimson Comics here and here.

very significant software - 2005/04/21 11:32 I'm writing to say that this is extremely important and powerful software that you all have invented. I'm reading REINVENTING COMICS by Scott McCloud and have taught his UNDERSTANDING COMICS in undergraduate English courses focused on the rhetoric of hypertext composition. Combining McCloud's understanding of comics as an underrated medium whose great potential for powerful expression has been underestimated for decades with a sense of electronic rhetoric--in the context of the history of communications ("grammatology" in the words of theorist Greg Ulmer)--will help you appreciate the significance of this software release. I'm hoping that you are working on a PC version (blasphemous thought, perhaps) if only to open up the possibilities to all those other computer users.

If the pixel is the moveable type of the digital age, then Comic Life becomes a kind of digital printing press.

Re:very significant software - 2005/04/22 00:45 I remember once reading/hearing that Mao's communists took over China through the use of comic books to spread their ideology. Can anyone confirm this or know of any other use of comics/illustrated literature??

When I was a child, my parents disapproved of comics... Now, not only can I buy them and read them, I can create them!! Thanks to the PlasQ posse for making a diappointed child into a happy man.
