Prepare your next comic

Launchpad

Free practical guides for developing a story and making it readable.

Start with a clear story

Give your main character something to want, a problem to face and an ending that follows from their choices. A short comic is a useful place to practise.

Make each panel readable

Plan the space for lettering before finishing the artwork. Keep the reading order clear and check the page at the size a reader will actually see.

Prepare the text version

A transcript should follow the finished panels, identify the speakers and describe the visual information needed to understand the story.

Creator applications are open

Creator applications are open for private editorial review. Applying is free and does not transfer ownership of your work.

Self-service uploads, campaign management and paid promotional packages remain closed. The creator guides are free to use.
