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.
