Support our Kids Comic

Our Rad Tales Program empowers kids to create their own comics, sparking creativity and storytelling through hands-on workshops. Not only does it nurtures creativity but also helps kids gain confidence in their talents, thrive in a positive, friendly environment, and meet others who share similar interests. Through comic-making, they explore creative ways to express themselves, reduce stress and anxiety, and connect with a supportive mentor. As part of a team, they feel valued and have a blast while growing as young artists!

About Rad Tales Program

Rad Tales Workshop is an exciting comic book creation program for kids, designed to inspire young storytellers and artists. Led by Machete Comics, the workshop teaches children how to develop characters, craft engaging stories, and bring their ideas to life through illustration. Participants learn the fundamentals of comic book art and storytelling in a fun, interactive environment.

With the success of Rad Tales #1 & 2, we’re raising funds to produce Rad Tales #3—a physical comic featuring kids' creative work! Support the next generation of comic book creators by grabbing a digital copy today.
