How to make mini-comics, my guide to cutting and folding an 8 page zine.

I love making comics and teaching others how to make their own. Lately, this experience has been so gratifying that I’ve decided to step it up a notch with workshops and tutorials.

The easiest way to get started is with my guide “How To Make a Mini-Comic” freely downloadable which you can print it at home and fold it yourself.

It’s copyright-free so you can print it out and distribute it however you wish. It started off as part of my Make 100 Sets of Mini-Comics challenge.

If you try it out and decide to make some on your own, I’d love to see them! I’m @docpop on Twitter and Instagram. If you are willing to help translate them, I’d love that too!

Want some encouragement? Here’s my friend Audrey talking about her first mini-comic:

And here’s some more from a recent workshop in Chicago:

If you’d like to run a workshop yourself, hit me up. I’m in SF, but might be able to send you prints (if the shipping isn’t too expensive).

    Thank you for sharing as public domain! I’ll be using this as an example for my mini comic book (zine) contest during Free Comic Book Day at the library. It works to teach how to fold and make a zine as well as how to draw a comic. IT’S PERFECT.
