Rather than drawing a comic from scratch, Comicbrush lets you mix stock artwork from our fun collection of comic backgrounds, characters and props with photos of your friends, neighborhood or college.You can add speech balloons, text, your own artwork and more, before publishing your comic to the Web, social networking sites like Flickr, Facebook and MySpace, or a friend's iPhone/Touch.

And there's more. Comicbrush is not just for comic fans. If you're a comic creator, Comicbrush lets you create an interactive version of your comic… all you do is supply the characters and/or artwork for others to create their own version of your comic
