If you can start writing comic books, you may get famous and make some money in the process. Furthermore, you will find fulfillment in that other people are enjoying your creations.

    All that's required from you is to work hard and give your readers the best stories you can come up with.

    However, there is one thing that acts as a roadblock for many – where to start.

    How on earth are you going to come up with characters? How will your develop your story to make it entertaining? And how will you even hatch an idea that will turn into a great book?

    If you are like many, you may be intimidated at the thought of all this.

I have tips on idea generation, story development, character development, and more. All these tips will help you start and finish your book. Additionally, you will also find info on promotion and becoming a great comic book writer.

      It is written in a simple and understandable way. It is a book to be read in terms of guiding us where to start, what to write. I liked it.
    • 2/5
      It gives a high level overview of what you need to do to make comic books, but stops short of providing particularly useful information.
