Creative juices flowed during Marek Bennett’s comics workshop in Belmont on Thursday. Budding artists of all ages learned some basic elements of storytelling and comic structures before creating the first page or so of their own original comic. The workshop, put on by the Belmont Public Library, tied into the summer reading program theme “Build a Better World.”
