+
+1. Extract the archive (cbz is just a zip, cbr is a rar, …)
+2. Convert individual pictures to PDF using ``img2pdf``
+	- Many other ways including ``convert`` from ImageMagick tend to do weird stuff like breaking aspect ratios or adding margins
+3. Merge files into the single PDF, e.g. using ``qpdf --empty --pages *.pdf -- output.pdf``.
