Questions
What's the difference between a storyboard and a comic?
A storyboard plans shots for film or animation and is never the final product. A comic is the finished story.
Is this comic template free?
Yes. Download and print as many copies as you need for home, classroom or personal projects.
What's the best paper to draw comics on?
Ordinary printer paper is fine for practice. For inking with markers, a heavier 120 to 160 gsm paper stops the ink bleeding through.

Type an idea and Panelo draws and letters the whole comic, with the same characters in every panel.
