Description I got an anonymous request on tumblr to show how I script. This feels really boring to read, sorry! This is a guide to writing Dark Horse standard comics, but really, if you’re writing comics for yourself, you should make sure the script is clear for you.

There is no set standard for comics, unlike script for TV/Radio, you won’t get smashed in the throat for deviating. As long as it makes sense, go for it! Also, this is just my approach; I’m not a comic god. Just go forth and create, that’s the most important thing!

Alan Moore’s Script for the Killing Joke (an example of how you can write super long descriptions if you like).
