As a Html5 experiment over on Clamnuts.com I made an interactive comic using Hype.

I’ve been keeping a keen eye on other html5 comics and interactive webcomics but I’ve yet to find one that really makes use of narration by the artist. I love Bifter and the innovative way they use SVG but I wanted to make a comic that would let me speak and could be more or less understood with out interaction.

Interactive comics have huge potential if done right, I remember seeing on the news about ‘motion comics’ where they cut up lame Spiderman comics and have him swinging between buildings. Wow.

I think the most obvious, easy to implement and powerful application for html5 storytelling is allowing the option to hear the author. 

This was made in Hype but just as I was half way through it I got a mail from Smith Micro the makers of Manga Studio about their new html5 comic tool MotionArtist  so I’m going to try it out for my next html5 comic project. Although their website made me feel ill looking at it.

Here at Wukomi we are experimenting with using Html5 within iBooks for medical and education purposes. Html5 is becoming more and more pervasive on News sites for their infographics and it’s something we are keen to try.

We offer professional custom comic book creation and application design.

Written by Charles Parnow and Illustrated by  American comic artist Al Wenzel, this free giveaway comic ‘The Story of Inflation’ is a beautiful example of an educational comic done right.

It manages to explain some fairly complex theories in a friendly and engaging way, I certainly learned from it!

I found this comic in the now long gone second hand bookshop in Rathmines in Dublin probably around 1999.

Apparently it is part of series of free educational comics issued by the Federal Reserve and this same comic has been redrawn and repurposed a few times since to try appeal to contemporary tastes but I doubt if they could even come close to the mastery of Al Wenzel. I love the way he draws eyes and chins.

At Wukomi we provide comics and cartoons for educational,instructional, training and marketing purposes. If you are looking for a comic for your business or project we can create it.

I love the layout on this ad. It looks so sterile.

It sort of reminds me of a medical device instruction. That purple bloke looks like he could lance a few boils or suck out/blow in medical goo.
