About

F/OSS Comics tells the history of computing and free and open source software through comics. It traces the path from early computers and software engineering to hacker culture, Unix, and the free software and open source movements.

The series is written and illustrated by Joone Hur, an open source developer and comic artist. Originally published in Korean, the comics are translated and revised for this English edition.

Historical and technical accuracy is a priority, and references are included where useful. Corrections and suggestions are welcome in the comments on each episode or through issues and pull requests on GitHub.

Individual images are often shared on their own. When sharing one, please leave it unedited and uncropped, and link back to fosscomics.com if possible. Project updates are posted at @fosscomics.

This website is built with Fossbook, a lightweight static site generator, and published through GitHub Pages.

F/OSS Comics is an independent project. Sponsorship helps cover the domain, drawing equipment, and reference books. The project can be supported through GitHub Sponsors.
