Game Information:

Comix Zone is a 1995 arcade-style action game. The game's unique feature is that it is set within the panels of a comic book. Each level consists of two pages and secrets are discovered by shredding the paper and revealing items. The unique dialogue is rendered within talk bubbles with the typical comic font. Sprites and backgrounds possess the bright colours and dynamic drawing style favoured by superhero comics. Comix Zone was criticised for being released too late and for being too hard and short, but it was positively received and praised for its gameplay, graphics and soundtrack.[citation needed] The music was composed by Howard Drossin, a known video game and film composer. Concept art was done by Filipino comics artists Tony DeZuniga and Alex Niño.[1] The game was originally from a concept video animated by Peter Morawiec titled 'Joe Pencil Trapped In The Comix Zone'. The video was made in 1992, displaying the animation of how the gameplay and the comic book elements would blend in.
