Self-Publishing Comic Book Software Makes Retail Debut For Holiday Season
Orange County, Calif. (November 15, 2005) –
Cape-wearing couch potatoes have a reason to rejoice with the announcement
that Planetwide Games’ self-publishing comic book software,
Comic Book Creator™ has shipped
and is available at retail outlets across the United States and Canada, and
via digital download from
http://www.PlanetwideComics.com. The innovative software title allows
consumers to utilize their own video game screenshots, DVD movies, digital
photos or art assets to create personalized comic books and comic strips.
“Comic
Book Creator is a truly unique product in its ability to merge
different forms of popular entertainment for fun and educational purposes,
thus creating edutainment” said Kevin Donovan, President of Planetwide Games.
“The title’s intuitive drag and drop interface and wealth of features provides
for a user-friendly creative outlet for the whole family, regardless of
artistic ability. Gamers can import screenshots and generate their own
graphic novels; families can create custom comic books using their family
albums and personal photos; and bloggers can add a humorous twist to their
posts. The possibilities are endless.”
Comic Book Creator
is the first PC based self-publishing software to integrate the comic book and
video game industries. Comic Book
Creator’s self-publishing software will empower a gamer or comic
book enthusiast to construct their own original comic. Users will now be able
to easily create and share their own comic book adventure captured and created
from their PC based video game play.
To create a comic, users need only select
from one of over 500 different layout and design templates, drop in their art
assets and insert text bubbles to bring to life whatever story they can
imagine. Comic Book Creator
will work with any jpeg, bmp or gif digital image and once users complete
their masterpiece they can share it with friends by printing or exporting the
image into a PDF or HTML file for online distribution.
Minimum system requirements include a PC
running Windows 2000 or higher, a Pentium 4 processor 128 MB of RAM, a CD ROM
and a hard drive with 1 GB of free space.
Comic Book Creator will sell for a
suggested retail price of $19.99.
