A friend gave me a few CDs with e-comics on them. Trouble is, he neglected to mention you need a program to see them. Recommend a good one?

thanks

If they are rar/cbz you should be able to unzip them and see the images(winzip/7zip/any similar program should do the trick)

I have read a few cbz´s and I usually just clicked the right bottom and 7 zip allowed me to take out all the images it had I have little concern over wether the images were/werent compressed I got them outside by ussing a unzipper so I figured they must be compressed.

If you want you can use a program that will read them like a previous user posted but theres a way of getting all the jpgs outside the cbr(using a unzipper) and Im pretty sure you know how to read jpgs
