Lastly, I want you to tell a heroic tale in comic form. It can be a story you already know. Or, it can have real or made-up or mythical characters. Your key to success is to clearly identify in words and pictures some of the traits from your list. By doing that, you will tell a truly heroic tale.
Feel free to print as many of the comic template pages as you need to tell your story.
