ATLANTA, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Comic book fans everywhere will gain free access to top quality digital comic books everyday through the ground-breaking Farrago Comics App -- a free publishing platform that delivers comics and graphic novels from top creators and publishers; and revenue-generating advertising.

"This partnership will amplify our efforts to make great comics and graphic novels free and easy to find, and eliminate barriers to a medium that everyone can enjoy."
The winners of one year's worth of marketing and advertising support valued at up to $120,000, Farrago Comics was one of six startups that made it to the finals. The others included AlphaBride, HUX, Reveal Estate, The Pontoon Brewing Company, and gottaGolf.
