Kidblog.org is designed for elementary and middle school teachers. I have used it in high school, and students love it.

The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading activities, response to literature, and so on). This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high school. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment.
