Abstract: System and method for collaborative comic creation and editing by a plurality of users. Users may access the comic from a central server (aka shared data center) over the internet. When a user begins to make a change to a selected object in the comic, a momentary object lock may be generated and propagated to the other users to prevent them from making conflicting changes to the object. Modified comic data defining the change may then be sent from the user's computer to the central server for storage and propagation to the other users to update the comic at the user terminals and the central server. Each user may have a set of editing privileges which define the comic data the user may change. A permanent lock may be generated for each user and applied against the comic data that the user is not entitled to change.

Abstract: A system and method for comic creation and editing utilizes pre-drawn comic objects arranged in comic panels. Comic panels include pre-drawn comic objects with articulatable parts which may be manipulated by a user of a networked user computer such as by use of a web browser. Comic panels created or edited by a user can be stored and retrieved from a central comic server. A system and method for translating text in comic panels is also provided. Additionally a system and method for linking comic objects in a comic panel to other web resources is disclosed.
