How to Write a Comic Book

2.jpg

Writing comic books is a social business mainly because most writers stay all day indoors. They use comic writing as a way of socializing. Like in any other business, the comic book industry is very competitive. It is therefore important to ensure that you perfect your act of writing. You need to be very creative because comic book writing involves a lot of creativity. This is mainly because most characters are fictional. In this article, we will discuss things that you should consider when writing a comic book. For more tips on these comic books, click here.

First, ensure that you read everything. Reading helps your writing in many forms from improving your thing power to bettering your spelling by teaching you how to write in proper form. You get a lot of story ideas through reading. This is essential especially if you want to be a successful comic book writer. Always ensure that you have a pen and paper when reading so you can write down any writing idea that comes to mind.

Always ensure that your comic book tells a story. One of the most difficult aspects of comic book writing is structuring a well-balanced tale especially if you are a beginner. It is best for a starting writer to stick to the basic formula plots such as horror stories and mysteries. You can then consider taking your characters into unchartered territories when you are feeling more comfortable. Ensure that you open your comic by clearly establishing the hero of your story and giving the reader a reason to sympathize with him. Also, at the begging of your comic, establish the villain and give the reader a reason to dislike him. This ensures an effective flow of your story. It also gets the reader interest in reading your comic. Either emotionally or physically, let the two main players' point of views clash in the main body. Read more about this here.

Use as few words as possible. An action that could be told in a matter of minutes by a film takes pages of a comic book. Learn how to be minimalist with your writing. Only use the important scenes and words when writing your comic book.

Finally, it is important to note that the villain is as much important in your story as the hero. Most reader readers may even associate your comic with the villain more than the hero. This is because villains have a sinister charisma while heroes are interchangeable because they are fairly generic.
