+# Comic Book Archive
+A comic book archive is a type of archive file for the purpose of sequential viewing of images, commonly for comic books or manga.
+
+The filename extension indicates the archive type used:
+- `.cb7` → [7z](../applications/cli/p7zip.md)
+- `.cba` → ACE
+- `.cbr` → RAR
+- `.cbt` → [TAR](../applications/cli/tar.md)
+- `.cbz` → [ZIP](ZIP.md)
+
+Comic book archive files mainly consist of a series of image files with specific naming, typically [PNG](../media/image/PNG.md) (lossless compression) or JPEG (lossy compression, not JPEG-LS or JPEG XT) files, stored as a single archive file. Occasionally GIF, BMP, and TIFF files are seen. Folders may be used to group images in a more logical layout within the archive, like book chapters.
