Cons / Areas for Improvement

1. Lack of metadata – No issue numbers, publication dates, or creator credits inside the ZIP.
2. Poor image quality – Many scans may be low-resolution, skewed, or have watermarks.
3. No reading order – Files often named randomly (e.g., img001.jpg, page2.png), making sequential reading difficult.
4. Copyright concerns – If distributed without permission from the original publisher/creator, it’s piracy.
5. Format issues – ZIP itself is fine, but CBR/CBZ (Comic Book Archive formats with metadata support) would be better.

3.4 OCR vs. Image

While rare for Bengali comics, truly "better" archives might include an OCR layer (searchable text). However, for vintage hand-lettered comics, high-resolution images are the gold standard. Overview of Sabita Vabi
