The Frontiersman

The Frontiersman is the world’s first digital comics magazine, created specifically for mobile devices such as the iPad, but can equally be enjoyed on your desktop or laptop computer.

The Frontiersman debuted in April 2010 and served as the digital companion to the main Broken Frontier website. While the site gives you your daily dose of comics news, the magazine focused on in-depth coverage to read at your own pace, when you feel like it. It went on hiatus with issue #30, released in December 2011.

Where can I read The Frontiersman?

The Frontiersman is available on iTunes and can also be downloaded on the following carriers:
