Page Turn is a single-column Tumblr theme that centres high-resolution pages in a layout with a chapter archive feel. It suits illustrators, visual storytellers, educators, collectives and independent publishers sharing sequential illustrated work. Bungee headings and Atkinson Hyperlegible text give the design a bold, readable character. Previous and next controls guide readers through the sequence, while first and latest controls let them jump to either end. You can set chapter details and an update schedule, customise the navigation labels and adjust the reading colours.

The theme supports all Tumblr post types, with reblog trails and tags. Search and pages are included, plus an ask box. Choose background and page colours, then ink and accent. The light background colour is also adjustable. Toggle Light Reading Background or Original Photos. Set your comic tag and current chapter, then add your update schedule. You can customise the First and Latest labels.
