On Windows 7, the latest version doesn't run because "api-ms-win-core-path-|1-10.dll is missing from your computer". What is the last version of MComix which supports Windows 7, or could there even a way to bypass this?
Correction: it's "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer".
(Not sure why sourceforge doesn't allow for editing or even deletion of tickets, it's really dumb.)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It's a "Windows 7 compatible version of api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll".
I downloaded the compiled release, put the DLL next to MComix.exe, and it worked perfectly! You should consider bundling this DLL in future releases.
(At first I thought that it was taking a while open up every single time, like in this old issue, but after freeing up some RAM and restarting the program a few times, it works perfectly!)

Or if this is a Python thing, I just saw these unofficial Windows 7 installers for Python 3.9+ which might fix it?

Alright, so the readme of the PythonWin7 repo linked above also linked to this repo:
https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-win-core-path-HACK
It's a "Windows 7 compatible version of api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll".
I downloaded the compiled release, put the DLL next to MComix.exe, and it worked perfectly! You should consider bundling this DLL in future releases.
