This is now the simplest way to create comic books on your iPad.
Watch the video and then read on…
New comic layouts and styles
Panels
- Use panels to layout your comic books.
- Add images to your panels from your photo library or using the iPad’s camera.
Captions, speech bubbles, funky text
- Choose from the new range of comic styles.
- Use the preset titles or customise your own.
- Add drop shadow, thought bubbles, borders and more.
Cool new backgrounds
- Choose from the comic-style backgrounds.
- You can still use all the previous backgrounds and solid colours in Book Creator.
STICKERS!!
- Add stickers from the library and resize them.
- Choose text or write your own words on top of the blank stickers.
- More stickers to come – what should we add next?
“Every teacher should try this with their students. Book Creator is the easiest and most comprehensive way to bring comics to the classroom.”Teacher and Technology Specialist Nikolaos Chatzopolous, from Florida

Why do I not see this new feature when I open up my upgraded, paid version of Book Creator?
Hi Paula, do you have iOS 8 or 9? It won’t work on iOS 7.
Good news, but should be better for Android. There is not a good app to make comics for Android. You don’t have competition :-)
With Ipad, Comic life is great, Pow Strip Designer also…
