Hold on Tight – Carnival Comics Is Taking You on a Wild Ride

by JasonBlack

We know it isn’t a global holiday, but we couldn’t resist sharing some spooky – OK, even a little bit scary – Halloween-inspired content for the weekend. If you have a Nokia S60 5th Edition device, such as a Nokia N97 or Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device, you’re in for a real treat when you download a chapter or two of the free digital comic books from the creative team over at Carnival Comics.There are now several titles to choose from, all of which are rendered in meticulous detail and display in vivid, horror-film inspired colors that practically scream out at you from the display of your Nokia mobile device.

The digital comic books feel like a magic trick being done right before your eyes, as you “turn the pages” by simply swiping your finger across the pictures on the screen. The functionality is all self-explanatory, too – there are no instructions or navigational arrows to clutter up the imagery. And as you will see when you look at the different titles in Ovi Store, each comic book is divided into convenient chapter-sized downloads, to make it easier to grab the content, and dive right in.

There is so much to show (every “page” within each story is just packed with detail) – but I don’t want to spoil the surprises that these comics hold – so how about we give you a sneak peek at a couple of screens to tempt you …

This one is from the title called “Carnival of Souls” where we meet a young boy named Jazan (any relation to the creator of Carnival Comics, Jazan Wild?), who experiences a carnival for the first time … but that is just the beginning of his adventures.

This other screenshot is from a title called “Funhouse of Horrors” and the protagonist, Jacob Stone, encounters a ramshackle old building that is being prepared as a haunted house for one night only. Needless to say, Jacob is not keen to stick around …

This short video – complete with creepy sound effects! – shows the graceful simplicity of viewing these digital comic books on a Nokia N97:

So if you crave a thrill ride for your imagination this Halloween, step right up and download one of Carnival Comics digital frights for yourself. Go ahead – we dare you.

Have a happy Halloween. – The Daily App Team

P.S. – Our thanks to the real Jazan Wild, and the entire Carnival Comics crew for helping us to make the blog look just right for the weekend!
