I adapted their HTML5 slideshow interface into a comic viewer: http://slippycomics.com/

Pretty nifty for viewing old comics linearly. Works okay-ish on an iPad too (click for alt-text/alt-comic).

Nice. I made something pretty similar here: http://www.wolfire.com/comic

Your version is quite nice. Great design. Looks like you have the added benefit of pre-knowing your comic dimensions.

You're afflicted with the non-functioning-hashes-in-history problem though. This fixed it for me: http://github.com/tkyk/jquery-history-plugin

Though, it does get annoying ending up with 100 non-pages in your history. Maybe a big "navigate by hashes: yes/no" option would help us out.

Kudos for that link! When I was originally implementing it, I couldn't find a good cross-browser hash history implementation, but this one looks really promising -- and jQuery to boot!

Pretty cool, but man it's annoying though to press back button. Wish it were more ajaxy.
