- My Wife uses Comic Setter on the Amiga and its better suited to
- producing Comics than PageStream 3.0h2. You can very quickly get
- comics setup (it has clipart overlaying and sizing) both important for
- COmics. If using it under WB 3.x then I would recommend that you get
- the patch from Aminet for ComicSetter.
-
- ComicSetter comes complete with bubbles and Frames (the blocks for
- each scene).
-
- Well worth a try.... Not anything better on the Mac, just different
- and certainly not as easy.
