NOTE: This app requires the Comic Basics book, if you do not have the book you can still use it by downloading and printing some sample pages included in the app. Comic Basics is a companion app to the book of the same name. Download the app, launch, and point the camera at the pages to see the video lessons unlocked and expanded in further depth. This is a rethink on how to teach comics using the most up to date technology and teaching methods. Furthermore, the lessons in this app are only taught by professionals who do this for a living.
