A hands-on introduction to making comics

Panels, speech bubbles, splash pages, and sound effects form the building blocks of this activity-focused guide. More than 30 lessons, story prompts, a story-generator tool, and fill-in comic spreads give young creators ways to develop ideas and put them on the page. The topics range from funny gags and scary tales to superhero action, with drawing lessons from cartoonists Dana Simpson, Lincoln Peirce, and Li Chen. Its combination of explanations and templates makes comic-making both the subject and the practical activity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids ages 9–12 interested in drawing and cartooning
  • Beginners who want guided prompts and comic templates
  • Young creators exploring different comic story ideas
