Comicbookedit is a program for creating comics. It can be used to draw comics and save them in an SVG file format. This means that your comic will display in firefox. Drawings can also be exported to PDF and to bitmaps. The former is great for printing.
Another nice feature of comicbookedit is that the drawing can be done using simple mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts only. So no dragging around with the mouse or difficult precision clicking on very small control points.

What makes comicbookedit specially suited for comics (although you can draw other things with it) is the ability to create text balloons very easily. Also it is very easy to setup a "comic book" format: a drawing with multiple pages, and boxes on the pages in which you can place your favourite comic characters.

Comicbookedit is written in Java so it runs on windows/linux/mac. It is open source. That means you don't have to pay any bucks for using it... and you can look in the source code your self if you want to add an enhancement.
