The characters inside your comic book are almost solely responsible for driving the story forward, through the way they think, act and interact with one another. In this video, you’re going to see an example of how that plays out in a comic book sequence – as I walk your through the decisions I made, panel to panel, in my own comic ‘Borork’.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✎ Why people aren’t invested in your characters, and what to do about it.
✎ How the best stories are told in comic books
✎ What every panel, on every page must have in order for it to matter.
✎ Storytelling secrets that make readers engrossed in your stories, and obsessed with your characters.
