A comic book archive or comic book reader file (also called sequential image file) is a type of archive file for the purpose of sequential viewing of images, commonly for comic books.

Comic book archive is not a distinct file format.

Folders may be used to group images in a more logical layout within the archive, like book chapters.

Some applications support additional tag information in the form of embedded XML files in the archive or use of the ZIP comment to store additional information.
