Best software for graphic novels?

Everyone's got to start somewhere, and for me, I want to start getting into comic-book style art. Mainly, it's for drawing the scenarios in my spy/spy co-story I'm working on with my writing partner. For personal entertainment purposes. I've always been interested in this, and now, getting my first job at 16, I want to raise the money up to buy the best, easiest to learn software to draw graphic art. Much like this: http://24.media.tumblr.com/61177e75a583cb74072ad0e...

(Just an example I found for one of my favorite fandoms.)

I own a Macbook. What software would you recommend?

Thanks in advance to anyone trying to sincerely provide tips and help to my question.

    Personally:

    1. I think the best way to do it is by hand. You might want to learn a little about drawing, muscle structure, anatomy of the human body;

    2. You can also download a program called Blender. It is a free 3d graphics program and it has a freestyle tool for making cartoon effects. It offers many possibilities and I think it is the closest to the professional programs that industries use, like 3DS Max and Maya.

    3. Also, you can use a 2d vector graphics program if you draw you comic by hand and then you can convert the images into vector graphics and I think you would get a result like a comic book style.

    That's it. Hope it helps.

    most comic book artists do it by hand, some color using computers. you use a non scan blue pencil to sketch and use pen or ink on top, then scan in to edit mass produce.

    if you have to use a computer, photoshop is not bad. i like illustrator 10 (what i used to draw my avatar) but i normally do it by hand.
