Description
Comics and graphic novels are the ultimate creative combination — words AND pictures working together to tell stories. And for kids who love to draw AND write, there’s no better creative outlet. But most kids who try to make comics get stuck: they can draw the characters but can’t figure out the story, or they have the story but don’t know how to lay out the panels, or they start strong and fizzle by page three. This planner fixes all of that. Inside you’ll find a ‘Comic Concept Lab’ for developing original comic ideas, a character design system with template sheets for heroes, villains, sidekicks, and supporting characters (physical design, personality, powers/skills, catchphrase), a ‘Panel Power’ guide that teaches basic comic layouts, panel progression, and visual pacing, a speech bubble and sound effect workshop, a story arc planner adapted for comic format (issue structure, chapter breaks, cliffhangers), blank comic templates in multiple layouts (3-panel, 6-panel, full-page splash), a ‘Graphic Novel Planner’ section for kids ready to go long-form, a mini-comic project guide for creating a complete short comic from start to finish, and tips for sharing comics with friends, family, and online kid-safe platforms. L.A. Walton knows that some kids think in pictures AND words simultaneously — and this planner celebrates that dual superpower.
