If you re a comic artist, Flickr is a quick, easy and inexpensive way to showcase and share your portfolio. You can upload up to 100 megs of graphic files for free every month (5 megs per graphic file maximum). You also have access to a huge community of users and, if you choose, you can display your comics as a slideshow. If you need more storage space and bandwidth, you can open a Flickr Pro account that allows you to upload unlimited amounts of graphic files (10 megs per file maximum) for $29.95 per year.
