Comic Strips

Laura Kraus

Hi and welcome to Comic Strips on Suite101! I'll be writing about the history of comic strips and strips from around the world as well as how to make comic strips on your own. I'll take strips from the present and past and follow them throughout their history along with the people who influenced them.

All material published prior to the 16th of July 2002 belongs to Stu Rees and is under his copyright. I have not altered that information in any way.
