MComix originated as a fork of the Comix project in 2009, when the original development stopped. The initial creators were Pontus Ekberg and other contributors. The program is primarily written in Python using PyGTK bindings for the graphical interface. The first stable version was released in 2010, with periodic updates maintained until 2017. The codebase leverages image processing libraries such as PIL/Pillow for graphic decoding.
