I have the cd-rom versions of Avengers and FF. I love them. Whenever I go on long trips , I download various years onto my Ipad.

I wonder if there was ever a Heavy Metal magazine in DVD-Rom format. Yes, there was. Kevin Eastman put out a digital collection but not many were made and it was immediately halted because of royalties and legal issues. I have digital downloads of that collection. I too have the Mad collection. Someday I hope to dig it out and go through it. That's all the cd-roms I have. I have 752 issues on Dark Horse Digital and 10,584 on ComiXology. There are other downloads on my iPad (mostly Sequential), iPhone (mostly Kindle), and PC (mostly Humble Bundle), but not nearly as many. Maybe another 100 books or issues. Like most of you I love the paper, but, I love have the panels fill up my iPad screen, being automatically sorted and accessible, portable, and literally not taking up a sizeable portion of room in my condo. I love them both differently. Is that so wrong ?

I bought all the GIT cd-roms with the exception of Ghost Rider. So that's Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, Avengers and X-Men. I coverted all of them to cbz format so I could read them with cdisplay, which is still my reader of choice.

I've got a CD-ROM version of the movie Comic Book Confidential that includes story examples from everyone interviewed in it. (The only one I can remember right now is "This Man, This Monster")

Not comics, but I have the first 250 issues of Dragon Magazine, the D&D mag on CD-Rom from when they released oh those many moons ago. Nice! I didn't know there was such a thing. I had a handful of the magazines, and I think (hope) they may still be in a box somewhere at my mom's house, along with the old rule books, but I have yet to dig them out.

Our library did have the Amazing Spider-Man CD-Rom back when I moved here, but it's since been lost by someone who borrowed it, but I did use it on a couple of occasions. -M I bought Dragon and Dungeon semi-regularly during the period of probably 1982-86. I'd look through them pretty thoroughly before buying to decide if there was enough content I was interested in to spend the money.

Who here owns digital comic books on DVD-Rom? What collections do you own? The Amazing Spider-Man & Archie (1960s).

I have the Fantastic Four DVD rom, the one with the George Perez cover. The only one I ever bought.

I summon the intense curiosity!

I summon the intense curiosity! There are several free cbz file converters out there, but I recommend using ComicRack. First, it's a not just a reader it's a library that lets your organize your comics into folders and lists, second it will read pdf files, so if you didn't want to convert you wouldn't have to, and third it can convert pdf's to cbz fromat. It takes a long time to convert that many files, but I think it's worth it. Cbz format is MUCH smoother and faster, particularly with something like CDisplay which is what I use to read them. ComicRack allows your to use various scripts to add functionality to it like a Comic Vince scraper that fills in creator/publisher/month/year etc data into the comic info section and another that allows you to use other readers besides the default one provided (this is how I use CDisplay with it). These are the only scripts I use but there are many more.

I have that MAD cd-rom too, though I haven't yet figured out how to view it on my computer, which doesn't seem to recognise it when I put it into my cd-drive. I would grab any of the Marvel ones like the Avengers, etc too if I ever saw them for cheap anywhere..
