A very useful guide to the basics of comics, including lots of vocabulary (panels, speech balloons, thought bubbles, caption boxes, gutter, emanata, onomatopoeia). Used this to teach a unit on making comics to 5th and 6th grade.

Have you ever wanted to create your own comics? This book will take you step by step with easy illustrations and show you how to create comics in your very own style.
The author uses simple text and comic like illustrations to teach the reader how comics work. He uses the voices of other famous authors to add motivation and instruction. There is a section in the back provided for adults on how to use and read comics with children. ( )
