Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited is an online service by Marvel Comics which distributes past issues of their comics via the Internet. Launching on November 13, 2007, the service has thousands of issues in its archive.[1] [2]
Users view the comics in a separate Flash browser window with custom controls for viewing.[2]
Marvel adds approximately 20 additional comics each week[3], with new issues not going online for at least six months after their initial print release.[1][3]
The service has two subscription options, which give users complete access to the entire archive. Users may sign up for entire year's access or for a single month.[3] The fee for a year's access is lower per month than the single month access. Non-paying visitors to the site may view the first few pages of all of the comics and are given access to the entire contents of 250.
Rival comic book publisher DC Comics already has several methods for digital distribution of some of its comics, but none are as comprehensive as Marvel's Digital Comics Unlimited service.[4]
