Yesterday I stumbled upon a Comic Strip Website which posts hilarious Comics Everyday. After going through 10-15 Comic Strips, I realized that the website (or rather say Blog!) runs on WordPress! After that I went on searching for a tutorial which could help me learn how to create a Comic Blog. Comic Blogs are unique, they are more engaging than text and videos. Later I found a WordPress Theme named ‘ComicPress’ – A WP Theme Dedicated to Comic Blogs!
Features Of ComicPress
- It’s Clean and easy to use.
- You can also create Chapters of Comic Strips. By using this feature, you can divide a story into daily Comic Strips.
- There is a Built in Widget that helps the visitors to skip to the next or previous Comic Strip.
- A Choice of 5 Layouts!
- Easy Navigation of Comics.
Plugins That Enhance ComicPress
There are many plugins which will help you manage your WordPress Powered Comic Blog Better. Here is the list of Plugins officially supported by ComicPress:
- ComicPress Manager: Edit the Views, Manage Comics and Bring some more features to ComicPress. This Plugin simplifies your ComicPress Experience and makes you do things in an easier way.

Other than these Plugins, you can use other WordPress Plugins like Ad Manager to enhance your Web Comic Blog.
