Comic Book Contest 2021 – Despite the turmoil in the world, reading books turns out to be a great pastime for those who have been at home. Not only did comics and graphic novels survive, but thrived with many new footprints and publishers leaving their mark and the children’s storyboard publishing exploded. The creators we’ve seen are promising newcomers with a fully realized work of exciting crafts. The old cartoonists are back with books that cemented their reputation. Superheroes keep their stories that show emotion and depth.
The comic book contest is a pathway to bring students from different cultural backgrounds and arts to compete for creativity and speed.
