Comics, illustrated children's books and graphic novels may be best formatted as fixed layout books in Jutoh.
Jutoh 2 supports fixed layout books for Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and some Epub 3 readers such as AZARDI. It also supports CBZ, the comic book format consisting of a zip archive of page images. You can import from a fixed-layout Epub 3 file or a CBZ file.
If you are starting from some images, you can create a zip file of them and rename the extension to .cbz so you can import it into Jutoh, creating a new page document per image. To specify the correct ordering, you can add a prefix to each file, for example 0001-Image.jpg, or if your images have suffixes such as Image-1.jpg you can specify ordering by suffix in Preferences/Import/CBZ image sorting.
Or you can paste or import images individually into new pages.
For more information, see Creating fixed layout ebooks in the Jutoh manual.
Note that not all distributors accept fixed layout books. Also, fixed layout books don't allow the same customisation of text size and font as reflowable books, so consider whether you could use reflowable layout for your book, or whether the more precise page-based layout of fixed layout is required.
