How to make a short quick Comic

How do I tell a 5-volume epic, in 5 lines? What are the essential words and emotions? What are the key events that can be painted?

A workshop that looks at the combination of our primary storytelling mechanisms, images and writing. The goal will be to learn how we can tell engaging stories in the shortest form possible, using very simple drawings, and minimal sentences, with just the basic materials of pencil and paper, so that we focus only on the core of the story.
