+MComix - user-friendly, customizable image viewer for comic books
+
+MComix is a user-friendly, customizable image viewer. It is specifically
+designed to handle comic books, but also serves as a generic viewer. It
+reads images in ZIP, RAR, 7Zip or tar archives as well as plain image files. It
+is written in Python and uses GTK+ through the PyGTK bindings.
+
+MComix is a fork of the Comix project, and aims to add bug fixes and stability
+improvements after Comix development came to a halt in late 2009.
+
+OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES:
+You also need either the "unrar" or the "rar" program installed if you wish
+to read RAR (.cbr) archives.
+
+Alternatively, MComix can be built over the optional dependency libunrar
+from Rarlab.
+
+To read 7Zip archives, you need to have the "7z" program installed. Likewise,
+"lha" is needed to open LHA/LZA archives. Note that "7z" can be used as
+substitute for both "unrar" and "lha".
