Liquid Comics offers hundreds of graphic novels and comics on Scribd

Scribd, the world’s largest social publishing and reading site, today announced the full-scale launch and availability of its free and DRM-free library of written content — including tens of millions of books, magazines, newspapers, presentations, research and more — from Flash to HTML5, the popular new web development language. The move allows people to consume any written work with just a web browser, providing a vastly superior reading experience on any device. It also presents new revenue opportunities for publishers.

To commemorate the milestone and as part of a longer-term content partnership, Liquid Comics, with titles from Guy Ritchie and Deepak Chopra, among others, will offer hundreds of graphic novels and comics on Scribd.

Liquid Comics is a comic book company, founded in 2006 as Virgin Comics LLC, which produced stories (many of which are Indian-culture related) for an international audience.

In August 2008, it the company restructured and relocated from New York to Los Angeles. On September 24, 2008, it was announced that Virgin Comics was renamed Liquid Comics after a management buyout.
