abstract = {We present CyberFrame, an AI-supported generator for hybrid comics about cybersecurity education, combining static comic panels with short animated transitions to support attention and understanding. Our solution is designed to make cybersecurity approachable by addressing the problem that many people lack everyday security and privacy awareness, increasing their vulnerability to digital threats. We evaluated the aesthetics and perceived usefulness of the generated hybrid comics in an online survey with n = 20 end-users, as they are the primary audience for awareness materials. Since the software is intended for expert use, we plan expert interviews as future work to assess usability and content quality. Our results suggest that hybrid comics are perceived as an engaging and appropriate medium for cybersecurity education, particularly when compared to traditional text-based approaches.},
