Comix - A Nifty Linux Comic Book Viewer

Image Source: comix.sourceforge.net

Comix is a comic book reader that doubles as a pretty useful generic image viewer. It's written in Python and uses GTK+. It's got a nice sidebar thumbnail viewer, and the library view shown in the image above. It's also able to handle .zip and .tar files natively, which is really useful for those of us who compress our image directories.

It can read right-to-left if needed, and caches upcoming pages for faster flipping. Most of the comments over at GnomeFiles.org seem to be positive, and suggest continuous development. Installation is a snap; fire up your terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install comix

and Comix will automagically download and install. And yes, the magic of apt-get hasn't worn off for me yet.
