Just found it a couple of days ago, it works in any OS that supports wxWidgets and works pretty nice.
Site url:
Comical and the
Gentoo ebuild I've just made for the last version.
EDIT: And i've added it to portage just now :+P

Sure, create the ebuild after I compile it by hand.
Personally, if you're on Windows, I'd choose CDisplay over Comical. The number of features for it is amazing plus I found it more stable than 0.7; I haven't used 0.8 enough to comment on it. Also, some of the hotkeys work strangely (i.e. I can only use left alt+o to open, not right alt+o).

i use cdisplay too.
this new comical is ok but i like to scroll the pages with mousescroll.
with comical i have to click the buttons to turn the pages.
if theres an app that can move the pages with just an easy 'click and drag', i will be its loyal fan.
=)

I have to agree about CDisplay, but since my windows hard disk started to experience mechanical failures...
I was in a need of something (at least) as good as CDisplay for Linux, and found that little thing, coded in c++ using wxWidgets, being myself a programmer (currently playing with wxPython), I can play with that program's source code freely, and it will work on (almost) any operating system.
No Wine here btw :+P.
