Maker Comics: Draw a Comic!

Draw a Comic! by JP Coovert is coming October 2019. A comic about making comics is a great way to explore the format and learn to tell stories. Says the publisher, “Follow these simple steps to sketch out your story ideas and ink a comic page. Learn which art supplies are best for drawing comics — you can use a pen, a brush, or even a computer! With the help of photocopy machine, you can even self-publish your own comics and share them with your friends!”

Both Maker Comics are available in either hardcover or paperback from First Second. They’re for ages 9-13 or grade levels 4-6.
