Guardian Comics: accessible comics for every reader

Slice of Life

Clutching at Straws

Issue 3: Once upon a pirate

When Rex finds himself in the rut of his life, there's only one logical thing to do. Be a jerk. To everyone! How's that working out for him? About as well as you'd expect, which is to say not very well at all!

Who would have known that the thing he needed the most could be found in the most unlikely of places...

Accessible by design

Comics should be universal.

Every issue here is built so more people can read it: your way, on any device, and free.

  • Closed captions Who's speaking and what they say, at the text size you need.
  • Panel by panel Step through the art one panel at a time.
  • Written for screen readers The art described and the dialogue read out.
  • Keyboard reading Turn pages and switch on captions without a mouse.
