The comic book idea that has been proffered seems to be muy appropo. There
probably are many people out there who could provide you with related
helpful info - but I myself cannot. Can you give us some more details about
your target audience and the stuff that you want to convey?

...creating an information booklet to inform and educate people about a
fairly abstract topic. Many of the readers have low literacy skills and
minimal experience with the English language. Are there were any strategies
that I could use to communicate an audience like this, aside from using
descriptive pictures and simple language?..
