When your comic book is complete - we want to see it! Our friends at the Rotary Club of Cleveland may even share it with our community.
Simply scan your comic or take a photo of it and save as a PDF file. Then, email it to: ken@operationcomicbook.org along with your comic book title, your name, age, city, school you attend, parent or guardian’s name and their phone number.
We are so grateful to our friends at Rotary Club of Cleveland for their contributions to making Operation Comic Book Academy possible.
