Secret Acres Announces Its First Digital Comic

The comics publisher Secret Acres has announced that Mike Dawson's Troop 142 will be the first comic available in digital form. They are using the Sequential App released by Panel 9.

Secret Acres plans more releases this way and lauded this particular method for on-line reading for the reading experience and for their focus on a certain kind of non-genre, even literary comic. How some of the smaller publishers orient themselves towards digital will be a key in terms of duplicating comics' rich print diversity in digital terms.

By the way, Dawson's book in collected form reads much differently that the version that was serialized on-line. If you had heard about the difference but weren't intrigued enough to pick up that big of a print offering, the digital version might have additional appeal in that way.
