Using freeComics

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Hey, is this legal or I am hacking a commercial web site?
A: freeComics and Mighty Marvel Wallpapers do nothing illegally, do not bypass comic web site security and do not violate any rule. they load the comic web page in the background and parse the page code to find the link to the strip, which is quickly loaded in the viewer, skipping all ads, banners and furniture of the web site. You could do exactly the same manually, by viewing the source code in your browser, finding the link, using the url to get the image and saving it locally.
Obviuosly, to fully enjoy each comic's experience, we invite you to visit the respective official web site, that can be accessed directly from freeComics.
Q: Comics are not sorted properly!
A: Yes, it's true. A the top of the list I placed Dilbert, then the 10 most popular comic strips: all the other are in alphabetical order.
Q: freeComics cannot find a strip for a certain date
A - 1: Probably it is not a daily comic: try to click on previous dates until you find a comic, freeComics will display it until a new one is published.
A - 2: While most comics are updated on a daily basis, others are not so regular: if nothing is available for current date, freeComics will try to find the closer comic available, within a range of seven days. This is enough for weekly comics, but others may not follow a normal calendar: therefore in some cases, freeComics cannot find a strip. Remember that free online availability is normally valid only for 30 days: after that date, if you haven's seen a strip using freeComics, the strip cannot be reached anymore.
