Comic book writing is like screenplay writing in the sense that it is also a script – although a very different type of script. In screenplay, a considerable chunk of details is left for the liberty of the director. In comic books, the only two major entities involved in the production are the writer and the artist.
The comic book writer has to be more precise in their intentions,
descriptions,
details and all the little elements of a scene compared to a screenplay writer.All of
the information provided by the writer is employed by the artist to draw panels just like the writer intends them to be
.
Hence,
comic book writing is not just dialogues and basic direction.It is the detailed description of
scenes and panels which are turned into drawings by the artist.
