In reading comic books children are engaging with highly complex and structured narrative forms. Whether they realise it or not, their emergent visual literacy promotes thinking skills and develops wider metacognitive abilities. Using Comic Art not only motivates children to read more widely, but also enables them to enjoy a richer imagined world when reading comics, text based stories and their own written work.

The book sets out a range of practical techniques and activities which focus on various aspects of narrative, including:

  • using comic art as a visual organiser for planning writing
  • openings and endings
  • identifying with the reader, using different genres and developing characters
  • creating pace, drama, tension and anticipation
  • includes 'Kapow!' techniques to kick start lessons
  • an afterword on the learning value of comics.
