Your task will be to write the first 5 pages of a full comic script.

Unlike a plot or springboard, in the full comic book script, each panel is described, followed by the captions, dialogue, and, if any, sound effects. Angles and page layout suggestions for the artist can also be included.

Pay attention to choice-of-moment, word/art relationships, panel descriptions, character dialogue, word count, story concepts – in short, everything covered in these lessons.

For script formatting instructions, see Video Lecture 11, Comics for a Living, or the attached PDF, WGN Script Formatting. Feel free to vary the specifics, as long as the results are readable and conform to the basics described in the lecture. As a sample, see my attached script for Manosaurs #1, published by Papercutz and © 2017 Stuart Fischer & Papercutz.
