Manga Studio EX
Manga comic software, Manga Studio EX by e-Frontier CD-ROM, Windows XP, Mac OS X. Sold by Smith Micro Software - see wiki.
"A serious piece of software, that anyone with no prior knowledge of graphics design can use. Its ultimate focus is to eventually lead you into designing full blown comic strips, but it can also be used as a powerful drawing tool on its own, given the vast array of options available (diff thicknesses of pencil/pen, inking tools etc). To be fully appreciated it is ideally used with a pen tablet, but I managed without for a few months. Once you get the hang of it, its a breeze.
