Re: W3C BD Comics Manga CG - TPAC

This is such great work, Branca. Thank you. It’s similar to some of my own work using CSS Flexbox to achieve similar results (when I did this back in 2015, Grid was still not widely supported, but Grid is a better way to achieve the results, I think): http://digitalcomics.co/part-3.html#responsive-icons

Strongly agree with Makoto that the art of arranging panels on a page is a fundamental and indispensable aspect of comics/manga. Any approach to digital comics should preserve the ability for the creator to craft a complex page layout consisting of multiple panels in juxtaposition with each other. This is, by definition, what makes a comic a comic.

Our project around a profile of Web Publications dedicated to visual narratives will certainly be a topic of discussion during this event.

The study has begun with Webtoon and the (vertical) scroll feature which is the base for such style. We have also listed some Japanese Manga that use horizontal scroll as a feature.
