J. P. Coovert ′08 has a new comic coming in October 2019 from First Second: Maker Comics: Draw a Comic! As part of the new Maker Comics series from First Second, this graphic novel includes seven comic projects. To keep the stakes high, the graphic novel is centered on Maggie, who needs to come up with $500,000 in a week to save the International Comics Library from being bulldozed by Dr. Carl. As her new assistant, you’ll help Maggie as she uses all her comic drawing skills. You’ll learn to create and print your own comics books, following simple steps to sketch out your story ideas, ink a comic page, and publish a finished minicomic.

The Maker Comics series are DIY guides. The series started with the practical—baking and car maintenance. The next two out this year, making comics and creating a costume, are more entertainment focused. With the next comic focused on gardening, it seems they are leaning back over to more practical guides. We’ll see if they maintain this fun pendulum of practical and entertaining.
Available everywhere October 22nd! Pre-order your copy today!
