1. Preservation of a Legacy
DC Thomson, the publisher of Commando, has produced over 5,500 issues. Finding early issues (Issues 1–100) in physical form is expensive and difficult. Physical paper degrades; digital files do not yellow or tear. Scanning these comics into CBR format ensures the artwork of legends like Ian Kennedy and Gordon Livingstone is preserved forever.
Functionality: When opened with a dedicated comic book reader (like CDisplay Ex or similar apps), the images are displayed in order, simulating the experience of flipping through a physical book.
