Net publishing firm iComic Press has launched a new technology which allows users to download interactive comic-books to their handsets and also provides the tools for artists to create and upload their own work.

To download a comic strip:

Users simply log on to the iComic Press website or choose a story they want through their Wap browser and fire off a text message.

Within minutes, they receive a message to their phone with a link to the comic-book. At just £1.50 per comic, paid for through SMS billing, it is cheap, quick and easy to use".

To write and edit your own stories and pictures:

"Artists who want to write and edit their own stories and pictures can do so online using the custom Java comic-book engine in a webpage in their normal browser. The system uses Java applets to create the comic-books, which are reproduced as Java midlets on mobile handsets. The system is compatible with many handsets and the editing software runs on PC, Mac and Unix systems".
