Words For Pictures

Anonymous asked: Tom, how does the perfect script for a comic book look like? What is needed? Page and panel numbers? Is a detailed explanation of the scene on panel appreciated, or rather unnecessary due to too much text? Is the dialogue written in uppercase letters? Does that even matter?

brevoortformspring:

Every script is different. There isn’t one single universally-used perfect format.

There are examples of scripts that can be found online around the web.

Also, a good resource for this sort of question is Brian’s book WORDS FOR PICTURES, which came out a month or two back. There are a few examples in there, plus a whole lot more valuable information.
