The popular website PrintablePaper.net has added a selection of new printable paper, all of it free to download and print. There are 20 pages for aspiring comic book artists and cartoonists, and 15 lined pages with a light, colored background.

"Comic books are part of an exciting visual medium that I want to support" said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "These templates can inspire ideas for different genres and layouts."

The comics pages are made up of blank panels intended for different storylines. There are neat rows for Sunday comic strip formats as well as more exciting layouts for fight scenes, manga comics, and comics with dialogue boxes.

The new colored paper sheets bring a special look to any professional or personal missive. In pastel reds, grays, blues and greens, this notebook paper comes with lines for writing letters, practicing penmanship, or making lists.

PrintablePaper.net boasts more than 1,000 paper templates that cover everything from graph paper to penmanship guidelines to music sheets to games. Many are offered in A4, letter, legal and ledger formats. All of the paper is available for free as PDFs, and the entire collection can be obtained on a CD for only $39.

"I recommend getting the whole collection," Savetz said. "It's a lot of templates to have on-hand, and you can always be prepared for hobbies, games, school and work."

There are more than 80 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
