You didn't say what type it was so a few guest
Felix the cat giant electronic comic book
Aliens a comic book adventure
Gamma force in pit of a thousand screams

None of the above. I remember it was some kind of shareware episode and it was colorful, supposedly VGA with the balloons appearing and alternating in simple transition effects and some boom and bang sound effects.
Sorry, I can't remember much about it 😅
If it was a game I could look for it on mobygames or google but I'm not even sure how to search for it on google cos "dos" seems to mean a lot of stuff and "abandonware" seems to be strictly game related so I get a lot of "Captain Comic" results although I searched for "comics" and not for "comic".
Any search suggestions?

If it's VGA, perhaps Skul or The Suit?

I think they were published online, last time I saw them.

It wasn't in the CD-ROM era, I think. It didn't feature any already famous characters and it was set in the future and the protagonist looked human

Those "games" were both around for a very long time. They might have been on floppy disk, and the characters definitely aren't famous. Are you sure it isn't them?

It wasn't a game. It was a comic book working under dos in which you could only turn the pages.

Infocom comic books?

Those were actually the first thing I thought of, but there's no way those would be thought of as VGA. (Or is there?)

Wait! Do you mean Captain Comic?

I found the demo in CDs shareware.

nikiniki it run under dos, it was interactive comic book or interactive hypercomics, with very eazy navigation mostly just like page up, page dn, esc (exit)
That be something like Beneath a Steel Sky, Lance Stone: Trouble at the Woz from PC Comix Inc

I never heard of that. Any links?

Beneath a Steel Sky http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beneath_a_Steel_Sky
Lance Stone: Trouble at the Woz "there is no picture of it" how ever there is some info here http://www.thefreelibrary.com/ just look up pc comix inc.

When I come back from work today I will have a look on Home of The Underdogs interactive fiction category. Hoping it's in that category

That's pretty unlikely. "Interactive Fiction" tends to be strictly text-based, with minimal graphics. What you want is the "Multimedia Novel" adventure subgenre.

Now that you mention it, Pangea: Return to Planet Earth seems like a likely candidate.

That never had a demo and that's not a comic book, it's a platformer.

Obscure DOS games/demos are the worst thing one could request about, since no one really does any digging. and just search for the obvious keyword (i.e. its a comic.... OH IT MUST BE CAPTAIN COMIC)

I know that but I tought he may want some like that

Anyway I believe the concept of comics under DOS (considering the technology of the time) and using transition effects for balloons and taking advantage of sounds is really amazing.
Thanks everybody for the help, gonna do some ebay searches!

If it's graphic-novel-ish with a futuristic theme then perhaps "Pangea: Return to Planet Earth" is what you're looking for. A search on the name should turn up info, images, and even a YouTube video to help you decide if it's the right one.
