A Mobile comic is a digital Comic or Cartoon Strip that can be purchased, downloaded, read and sometimes edited or shared with friends via Mobile Phones . Increasingly the line between digital comics, animation and games is blurring and the same applies to their mobile counterparts as mobile comics become multimedia with sounds and interactivity. Mobile comic content has until recently been miniatuarized or adapted versions of established branded comic content. With the rise of file sharing and piracy it has been increasingly hard for publishers to control money leakage from digital/mobile comics and as such publishers (especially traditional Japanese Manga houses) have shied away from licensing digital or mobile comics. This however, has led to the rise of user-generated (independent artists) using platforms to publish and sell their work at low cost, and (for the first time in years) do so profitably. The challenges for mobile comics creation include:
Several mobile content providers have now developed their own mobile comics platfroms, some using java-based applications which have to be downloaded to the mobile first before comics can be viewed. Others are using Multi Media Messaging to deliver strips. TITLES Initially the titles released were existing comics licensed for the new medium but new titles are emerging purely on the mobile phone. '' is the first original title for the medium and the artist Steven Sanders (who previously worked on '' The Five Fists Of Science '' - itself licensed to mobiles through GoComics) has said "I think digital/mobile is the way to go, because I want comics to go back to being a cheap, disposable entertainment again, instead of 4 dollar things that are printed on expensive paper and that cater to collectors.".
