1. The comic book can be either hand-drawn or created digitally (if digital, please ensure that it is in a format which can be easily opened such as a PDF, jpeg, etc.)
2. You have creative control; therefore items such as coloring, panel sizes, etc. is all up to you.
3. Your comic book should be historically accurate, but remember that you are also a historian and so you will have your own interpretation of what happened... just ensure that you have the evidence to support your claims.
