Comic books, also known as graphic novels, are stories told with words and pictures. You can create and star in your very own comic strip.
First, think of a story. Think of your characters, where your story will take place, the begining, middle, and the end.
Next, create a storyboard for your comic. Draw a quick sketch of the different scenes in your comic and what you want the final product to look like.
You can use household items as your props and backdrop or you can create a backdrop by drawing your scene on large butcher paper. Once you have created your backdrop you can tape it to the wall.
Now, pretend you an actor. Act out important scenes from your comic and have a parent take pictures. Once you print out your pictures, you are ready to complete your comic strip.

Cut out your pictures and arrange them on your piece of paper. Decorate your comic strip, add any text your comic might need, and tape your pictures to paper. You have just finished your comic strip. Great job!
