Web Comics and Graphic Novels page 1 2 3 Telling Stories With Pictures 27-year-old Kazu Kibuishi and 26-year-old Amy Kim Ganter draw together a lot. They are living their dreams as comic artists and love to tell stories by drawing pictures. Kazu works as an animator for a company called Shaded Box Animations. He draws ideas for video games, films, and commercials. When he's not working on animation projects he spends long hours drawing his Web comics. Web comics are shown on the Internet instead of printed in comic books or newspapers. Kazu's web comic called Copper is very popular. Copper is a lovable boy who sets out on adventures with his dog Fred. Kazu writes, draws, and colors each Copper Web comic. Scholastic, the largest children's book publisher in the world, has contracted him to produce a graphic novel called Amulet. Graphic novels are similar to comic books in that they use pictures to tell a story. The stories are longer and put together in a covered book. Amy is a freelance animator and illustrator. Freelance means she works on different projects for different companies. She also illustrates stories for book publishers. She is currently creating a graphic novel for the publisher Tokyopop. Amy and Kazu live in Southern California. It is their goal to be full-time graphic novelists.
