Comic Strip

Covert Ops don't go down well in the press. The media are all over us with negative images of the victims of our war.

The General always says " Whoever controls the media, controls the mind"

We need to reach out to the hearts and minds of the people and the General reckons the best place to start is with the kids. After all it is them who will fight the good fight in the future so we need their minds clean and their arms strong.

The General seems to think that the best way to tackle this is with a cartoon strip which he can plaster over every cereal packet and teen mag there is.

We need our team to look like Heroes - no more than that - Superheroes, We must make sure that we show we are winning and Good Will Prevail.

Use tables and speech bubbles in Microsoft Word and images in the classified file below to create a cartoon strip about the team and their fight against evil and it's leader - Renegade Hero Mishka. Make sure it's clear who the good guys are and the heroic missions they carry out..

I would be great if you could plan a storyline and a storyboard first so that you get a clear idea of what you are going to do.
