Toon Books - the series that
redefines "comics" for young children and makes them an invaluable early reading tool - introduced us to some surprisingly versatile
online comic panel creation software that your kids will enjoy playing with.
After fooling around with it, I wrote:
In fact, it works so well, they should take it further. Add the ability to sequence multiple panels on a page and to draw your own characters with a rudimentarly drawing tool, and they could either sell this software on a standalone basis or provide exclusive access to purchasers of their books through an access code.
Then I started browsing some more and realized that
Comics Lab Extreme, a companion product to the Comics Lab that Toon Books had brought me to, does just that. Multipage comic books, artwork upload, and more. Great stuff for tech-savvy kids with an interest in comics. And it's all free.
Anyone out there have kids who love a particular comics software, online or off?
