This reader app will invigorate his storytelling into a living, growing, active set of stories you can purchase and read them on the go. MORE jokes! MORE details that the textbooks miss! MORE new panels to unlock when you visit some of America's most important historic sites! This format promises a more dynamic future for Chester's stories of the important past. This app will be a platform for the ongoing Chester Comix project to: * make available stories from the Chester Comix archive that have not seen print since the early 2000s. * Add extra panels to stories that are in print, to give readers more fun and more facts. * Allow young people to download stories to read them later with or without an internet connection.
