About the Comic Maker

This drag and drop comic maker was created by the State Library of Queensland (SLQ) for Fun Palaces.

You can currently see a demo at the Fun Palaces website.

It's from a concept by Matt Finch who devised a physical comic book dice game at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design in Manila, Philippines. Matt is the 2016 Creative in Residence at SLQ. The game was designed by Phil Gullberg and Talia Yat of The Edge at SLQ.

Comic Book Dice was inspired by Jessica Abel and Matt Madden's comic-making activity Panel Lottery, which in turn has roots in the work of Scott McCloud. Comic book games have their own art history!

The original pilot was in 2015 and you can read an interview about the first Comic Maker at The Comics Grid. The Comic Maker was also presented at the 2015 Electricomics Symposium in the UK.
