Four coming-of-age comic ideas.Take one. Make it yours.

One summer, one season, one river: the stretch where somebody becomes who they are going to be. Comics tell these through faces more than words, so each of these gives the lead a thing to do with their hands while it happens.

Press start on any of them and it lands in the premise box of a new comic, where every word is yours to change. Then you pick a look, meet the cast, and Panel & Ink writes and draws the first issue.
