Cover-Comics Reader for Windows

App overview

Cover is a free comic-book reader that opens the common comic archive formats used today. It’s built for straightforward viewing and supports the typical file types you’ll encounter when reading digital comics.

Reading features and library tools

• Resume reading automatically — the app remembers the last page you viewed.
• Track reading status by marking issues as read or unread.
• See how many pages each comic contains at a glance.
• Arrange titles into virtual collections or “shelves” for easier browsing.
• Additional options for sorting and metadata make managing a growing library simpler.

Where you can keep your comics

Comics can reside anywhere the app can reach: local folders, removable drives, network shares, or cloud-synced directories. Cover will scan and access files located in any of those accessible locations.
