A java Desktop app Comic viewer

Below is an application I created for viewing online comics from a website, this kind of application is actually what is called a scraper because it uses online the content. This application is created using the Java Swing API and Java swing components

The idea behind this application is that users will open up the desktop app and see the comic book covers or magazine covers of their choice and be able to Simply press on it.This will then open up that desired item for them to read. this application will refresh with new information as they source refreshes and changes day to day

below is a small snippet of the code that is available on my GitHub.  for the full code please visit my GitHub  link
