Introducing The Kids Comics News!

Happy Back to School, everybody! I pray that you had a meaningful summer and have an open mind as you learn new skills, read, and create your own media, whether you make videos for social media, write stories or are working on a zine or comic book.

Below are free events where I—or someone representing Boston Comics Academy—will be coaching about comics making or sharing our inaugural Kids Comics News zine, which features one-to-four—page comics—and a cover—by children, age 7 to 14, from across New England. The cover is designed by June, a young comics-making friend who lives in Vermont.
