| Abstract |
|
Grassroots comics are made by community or NGO activists themselves and used in local campaigning. Most activists can learn the methods in a few days. It is the story, its drama and message which are central, not the drawing skill. This book shows samples of grassroots comics and the methods for producing them are thoroughly explained.
