"People always write it as if it’s two separate words. But to me, if it’s two separate words, then it means a funny book — a comic book. If you write it as one word, which is the way I do it, then it’s a generic term meaning a comicbook! So I feel everybody ought to write comicbook as if it’s one word, because it doesn’t mean funny book." - Stan Lee Have you ever wanted to create your own comicbook but didn't know where to start? Well, now you can learn how to bring your ideas to life with my step-by-step guide. From developing your character to the storyline and layout, we will discuss the basic ins and outs of the comicbook creation process. This guide will help you unleash your creativity and craft a unique comic book that you can be proud of. So grab your pens, pencils, and imagination, and get ready to dive into the exciting world of comicbook creation! Students will develop their own character that will be implemented into a storyboard and then a comicbook. Students will learn the difference between splash pages, speech/thought bubbles, captions, and more. This class is heavy on drawing. If your child loves to draw/create comics, students as young as 7 can be accepted. This is not a figure drawing class. Rulers will be used to make panels on the page. You can take this class more than once and create something new! Students will be encouraged (but not required) to share their progress.

Parental Guidance
Not all parents are comfortable with weapons/violence/gore. I ask that those images not be shared out of respect for other parents.
