Find a character that represents you and begin the story line based off your personal story and interests. Are you telling a story about a day at work? Make up an office setting and coworker stories using speech balloons! What about creating a new superhero for kids to look up to? Come up with a character with superhuman powers who’s goal is to fight bullies and other vigilantes! The possibilities are endless!

What Kind of Paper is Used for Comic Books?
The recommended paper option for comic books is 60# uncoated paper. However, graphic novels and comic books may choose to be made with 70# paper or 80# paper with a matte or glossy coating for a heavier, more professional feel.
Can I Print Comic Book Crossovers?
Yes! If you choose Saddle Stitch binding, you can print crossovers without losing a portion of the image in the binding center, like with perfect bound. Spiral Bound and Wire-O is not recommended for crossovers.
Saddle stitch binding is the most inexpensive and simple to make, yet professional form of binding, which allows us to save you money. They also offer the fastest turn-around time. Saddle stitched is the most popular and ideal choice for self-cover booklets and calendars with smaller page counts between 8 and 92 pages. 
Perfect bound binding is the most popular type of soft cover binding. Perfect bound books are inexpensive to make and provide a durable, high quality attractive look that can’t be matched. Perfect binding is the ideal choice for publications with higher page counts (28 pages up to 2 inches thick), giving them a professional looking printable square spine. A paperback book or a phone book is a familiar example. 
Spiral binding uses a durable plastic coil which makes it an ideal option for every-day use as reference material. Spiral Bound Book Printing offers different coil sizes and diameters to accommodate a higher page count up to 2 3/4" thick. There is a fast turn-around time for very short spiral bound book production quantities. Manuals, Handbooks, and Guides are good examples of products well-suited for spiral binding. Available only in black coil. 
Wire-O binding is similar to Spiral binding. Wire-O binding uses a professional-looking looped metal wire which makes it an ideal option when the product is for a more formal setting, such as a presentation. Wire-O binding can accommodate a higher page count up to 1 ¼" thick. They may cost a little more. Available only in black standard wire.
