Comics, much like their bigger book brothers, are available in both paper and digital forms.
Unfortunately, Windows 11 doesnt have any kind of comic book reader app installed on it by default.
This is how you’ve got the option to read comics with the Cover and YACReader apps.
TheGetComics websiteis a good place to download some freely available comics.
Click a cover image for a comic to download there.
Then select theDownload Nowoption to save the file for it to a folder.
There are also many other similar websites you’re free to get comics.
Some comic libraries have freely available downloads, but others are storefronts selling them.
Check out ourbest comic book website guidefor details about alternative sources.
Right-tap the desktop area of Windows 11 and select theNew>Folderoptions.
Then input Comic Books for the directorys title.
Move your downloaded comics into that folder by dragging and dropping their files within File Explorer.
Cover is a Microsoft Store app with which you’re able to open and read comics.
That app supports all major comic file formats, which makes it a good enough choice.
Cover is freely available up to a point, as the free app version comes with a 25-comic limit.
nudge the comic and select itsTwo PageandFit widthoptions to view double pages across the full width of the window.
Then you could scroll down the pages with the mouse and flick through pages by pressing the arrow keys.
Cover has aNight Modeoption you’re free to adjust brightness with and enable a night filter.
hit the comic and press theNight modebutton to bring up theBrightnessbar.
Then you might drag the bars slider down.
Or click theNight filterbutton to dim the light for comics in Cover.
To do that, open a comics source folder in File Explorer.

Then click theSee morebutton at the top right of the Cover app to selectRefreshlibrary.
Unlike Cover, YACReader doesnt restrict you to a 25-comic library.
It also incorporates some nice unique features.
So, its recommended to maximize the apps window.
Click theDouble-page modebutton to view two pages in a single window.
Selecting theFit to Widthoption will give you a view of the comic thats not too small or big.
it’s possible for you to save pages in YACReader by clicking theSetbookmark button.

Thats a useful feature for selecting specific pages in a comic.
Page flow has five transition effect presets it’s possible for you to choose in the Options window.
ClickOptionson the right side of YACReaders toolbar.
Select thePage Flowtab, and choose one of the five preset options.
you might also tweak each preset by clickingShow advanced settingsand dragging the bar slider options.
Press theSavebutton and restart YACReader to apply a new preset.
Instead, you’re free to view and read them in a web client.
Some comic book websites include options for viewing comics on them.
However, the page view options for comics on websites are more limited than those in YACReader and Cover.
Nor can you select to bookmark pages.
So, most users will probably prefer to download and read comics in Cover and YACReader.
Those apps have all the options and tools youll need to open and read comics.
