Words and pictures
Will your graphic novel be a hero's journey or a book of ideas? The tutors will help you get it onto the page, looking at the traditions of the comics and graphic novels and at ways of subverting them. Illustration skills aren't necessary – this course is about stories, narratives, the imagination and creating worlds.
