Comics Class Was Action Packed!

This past summer, Lakewood Public Library hosted a comic creation class for kids in sixth through twelfth grade. The program, titled C.O.M.I.C.S. (Create Original Manuscripts Illustrated Completely Series) took participants through the entire comic creation process, from writing outlines, through character creation and design, all the way to a finished complete comic. Participants worked independently or as writer/illustrator teams. For part of the program the group was joined by special guest Nicole Boose, former Marvel editor, who spent time with the children critiquing their work and advising them on their projects as they developed.

The finished product was presented in a bound compilation featuring each child or group’s comic at a finale reception where children and their families were in attendance.
