The comics backend allows to view the image files inside of cbz, cb7, cbr and cbt files sort by alphabetic 
order. The decompression is done using 3rd party tools like unzip, unrar, 7zip or tar. The images are loaded 
in GdkPixbuf objects and rendered into a Cairo surface.

I mean indirectly because you should use package the images in a comic book format.
