Create your own comic book

Yep thats right...people will soon be able to create their own comics online using a mixture of stock characters, speech bubbles and backgrounds via a new digital application called Comicbrush.com.

The site has been developed by digital comic publisher Clickwheel and is headed up by the firm's creative director Will Simons. It is due to launch on 17th September.

Comicbrush.com will be free to use and will allow users to access a periodically updated library of clip art and speech bubbles from across a variety of comic book styles.

The site will also carry a collection of paid-for premium comic artwork, which can be bought via a built-in shop.

Comic enthusiasts will have the option of uploading their own photography and drawings to combine with the comic art packs. The finished comics can then be emailed, uploaded to social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace and sent to iPhone and iTouch handsets.
