Stories in Comics


I was reading a MasterClass article about Neil Gaiman's Step by Step Guide for Making Comics  . Comics are visual short stories. Graphic novels are longer and tell a deeper story. Instead of describing a scene, you have images and text.

As Neil Gaiman says: “When you get to comics you have a whole different area of territory...We get to use the pictures and the words to try and do things inside the head of the reader that you might never be able to do in prose or in film.”

Once you decide how each art panel of the comic will show which part of the story, you write the script for the comic. Even though the panels are small, they can show a lot of your story. If you've never written a script or comic story, consider giving it a try. If you're an artist, take a look at illustrating comics. If you search comic software, there are programs available to create your panels.

When writing your action or adventure stories, think of comics. As always, Write On!

Ask & Answer


This month's question: Have you tried writing scripts? Tell us about your experience.
Answer below *Down* Editors love feedback! *Heart*

Last month's "Action/Adventure Newsletter (February 16, 2022) question: What other hero types do you know?


Monty : Hero's come in all types from wars to just that plain man who risks his life to save someone from drowning or death from any thing.

Prosperous Snow celebrating : Another type of hero is a hero of faith or a faith hero. This is a person such as a saint or someone who is martyred for their belief in God, one of His Prophets,or for humanity. Examples of these are Christ, The Bab, Tahirih (the Persian poet), or Saint Valentine.

🌕 HuntersMoon : Veterans, doctors, nurses, EMT members... the list goes on.

Adherennium Dr of Phoolishness : The hero out of time: In a historical setting, this hero exhibits modern values, usually at odds with the ruling class of the period he is actually in.

The One: Think Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, destiny's selection to perform a heroic task.

The anti-hero: Whilst being of questionable morals, still acts as a force for good, think Clint Eastwood in any of his spaghetti westerns, especially 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly'

Starling : Many people around me.

THANKFUL SONALI Now What? : My Dad, my family, my friends, my Doctors ...

Massive Friendly Derg : Those on the front line and unsung.

N.A Miller : R.L Ermy... Charles Durning... War Heroes in their own right from two different wars. But nevertheless heroes of our country... gone actors... Heroes who deserve recognition.

tybo777: Sonic the hedgehog!

s : Don't have one.

I don't want to emulate anyone, nor do I look up to some-one. There are famous people whose works I like, but as to whether they are "heroes"... I don't think so. No sports-people, no artists, no soldiers, nothing.

As to my writing, I like the "everyman" and "reluctant" hero tropes. In horror, they help ground the reality you are trying to subvert.

In real lufe, though, I do not have heroes. And I hope no-one out there sees me as their hero.

I am not a Bonnie Tyler...

elephantsealer : I think and I believe that men and women who have beeen in the war (whether domestic or foreign) are heroes. The need to go and fight in order to live free is a worthy cause...

david : Sadly most people turn to their Heroine, pun intended in times of stress not a hero.

Anna Marie Carlson : My father was my hero when I had a nervous breakdown. When I slapped my face hard, he gently took ahold of my arm and said to me, "Honey, you don't want to do this to yourself, you're my daughter and I love you." He saved my life.

TheBusmanPoet : Nicola Tesla. The inventions and ideas he had are powering the world all around his. He left an indelible impression upon our planet. He was so far ahead of his time.

Kitty : Ochako Uraraka
