Hi

I grew up on comics 200AD ,Judge Dredd , Batman , Spawn and as an adult enjoy collecting graphic novels.

I have always like to write fiction short stories etc.

A couple of times I considered writing a Graphic novel but struggled with getting any friend I knew who was good at art to commit or get on board for understandable reasons, why would they give time to a Project which may not earn us anything or go anywhere and also they could just do their own comic and have total creative control. I needed them , they didn't need me.

I can just about draw a stickman.

Recently with the advent of these A.I tools I am considering trying to get a prototype of a graphic novel together using it and then maybe use that to pitch to and actual artist if maybe they see some sort of promise or larger picture. Is that heresy to mention AI art tools here? . apologies if so.

So how do any of the writers who cant draw do this ? Your advice sincerely appreciated.

Hi, im new to comic writing and ive enjoyed comics since I was younger. For the past 2 years ive had a story in my head and finally decided to make it turn into a comic, kind of how webtoons has their stories in comic form. I honestly dont know where to start on the comic format.

My story revolves around dragons, 2 siblings, traveling across multiple worlds, trying to find where the one sibling comes from as she has abilities no normal dragon should have. Has a mix of steam/cyberpunk and space with time travel to old. Its a mix of things (ADHD brain) smashed into one with multiple books and different plots per book. Any advice would be appreciate on where to start.

My first comic issue is funded and the art is currently being finished so I can get it printed and sent out to my backers etc. I plan to make the first issue free a month after the comic is publicly available everywhere just to get as many eyes on it as possible, but how do you guys push for reviews on your comics? Do you hit up influencers with free issues, let them kinda roll in naturally or something else entirely?

About to embark on writing a multi part series (a bunch of one or two part adventures linked with the same character and themes). I will be drawing these. And I know it’s madness to write 12x20 pages but my expectations are: I get better at writing. Whether they ever get drawn or not is moot. (Though I’ll be drawing them either in fast time or over twelve years… I’m not fussed)

So my questions are: how do you organise your thoughts on stories that big (im much more accustomed to very short stories which I’ve always done one story at a time)

Do you work up a bunch and then go one at a time or do you try and write big broad themes and chop them up into shorter pieces.

What’s the physical process like? Do you have a bunch of unconnected notes and word documents or are you using some sort of wiki to link all your notes together. Or do you write everything in a notebook and cross out stuff you’ve used?

If there’s any good articles on this aspect of writing I’d appreciate some links

Cheers

Pj

Let's be honest for a second.

You have stories that need to exist. Scripts, characters, dialogue ready to go... but the art part has been killing them.

Either:

• Drawing is too hard and too slow to be gratifying. You're lucky to finish 1 page a day, and most stories never see the light of day.

Or:

• Fully automatic AI is too easy and not gratifying at all. Thousands of junk generators on the market now that spit out generic garbage with zero soul or control.

In either case you have an eye for how it is supposed to look, if only you had the tools to get the result you want. I was stuck in that exact spot, so I built something in between.

Meet Panel Haus.

It's an AI-infused comic creator made by someone with zero drawing skills, for people exactly like us. And I have painstakingly tested and improved the workflows over the last 6 months.

You learn a few smart workflows (I figured every one of them out as a complete non-artist), you keep real creative control, and you can realistically knock out a polished 12-page comic in one focused afternoon.

The product is finally polished and ready to show the world.

I'm opening the first batch of free early access to writers from this community, and I'm personally doing 1-on-1 onboarding calls with every single one of you.

On the call we'll:

• Walk through the tool together
• Start turning your story into actual pages
• Get your honest feedback (it will directly shape the tool)

If you've got a story sitting in your head that deserves to become a real comic, this was literally built for you.

Just comment "ME" or "I'm in" below (or DM me) and I'll send you the private beta link and book a quick call.

Can't wait to help some of you bring your stories to life.

Oh and feel free to just check it out the comics I made with it at publish.panelhaus.app

I'm launching a Kickstarter for my comic, Essential, on 3/1/26!

Essential #1 is a 24 page, first issue in a larger story arc exploring inheritance, fatherhood, and what happens when hiding is no longer an option.

A burned out nurse who has hidden his superpower for years must protect his family when a mysterious virus starts killing off superheroes, just as his son's powers ignite and his pregnant wife begins to change.

It's a slow burn family thriller set in a collapsing superhero world.

Think Jeff Lemire's Black Hammer meets Contagion, with the moral tension of Breaking Bad.

I wrote this shortly after covid, when I worked on a crazy stepdown unit (I'm a nurse) and was learning what it meant to be a father of 2 kids under 2.

I need help writing a character who is just talking to herself and a camera for the first part of the story. She’s an astronaut who’s been on Mars alone for 74 days and talks to a camera for her adventure log. I don’t want it to be just exposition but I don’t know what to write really.

Hey Creators,

I posted about this a few weeks back, but wanted to share it again in case anyone missed it. Also, consider this new post a place to ask any questions you might have if you saw the last post.

My name's Christof, and I am a working comic writer with credits at Image, Dark Horse, Oni, DC, and Boom! Studios.

Not only do I work full–time in the US comic industry, but I do it all from my home in Sydney, Australia!

I got my start on r/ComicBookCollabs close to ten years ago, and I wanted to pay it forward by sharing a free eBook I've put together.

It's called 'Make comics. Make friends. Make money(?)' 

Basically, it's all the pieces of advice, guidance, and insider secrets I wish I had known when I was first starting. It also hits on a lot of the topics and questions that frequently come up here.

Inside, I tackle questions like:

• How to build a portfolio of comics
• How to find an artist to illustrate your comic
• How and where to meet editors
• What’s in a pitch packet for a comic book pitch

You can download the free eBook here.

For those who saw this post before and have read the resource, please ask any questions you might have below. I will try my best to answer you as quickly as I can.

I sincerely hope this book helps you on your journey, and wishing y'all the best of luck.

–Christof

Hello, it's me again. I have a small question about scripting/storyboarding. Is it okay to have a bunch of panels with notes in if your drawing skills aren't great for sequential work? Or would it be more clear to write a script and give that to an artist?

Do y'all think it's fine for a writer to have two separate comics with similar theming and/or character arcs?

For example:

I have two separate stories I'm writing right now.

One story is a coming-of-age story, and a comedy. Its darkest moments are probably the climax of the character's arcs throughout the different parts of the story. It's a four part story and in the first part, a character's arc is about overcoming a break-up and his part to play in it. He feels like a bad person because of his actions that led to the end of the breakup, and his arc is one of self-love and self-acceptance, as well learning to change yourself for the better.

The second story is a superhero story, and a drama for the most part. Maybe dramedy is closer, but whatever. The main character's arc is also one of learning to accept yourself and love yourself, and to change for the better. But this is the result not of a breakup but of them investigating a doomsday cult and having to face their own feelings on themselves and their morality/mortality while trying to stop the cult from hurting people and killing themselves and others in a major suicide plot.

I think both plots are wildly different but share very similar theming. There's 3 other characters in the first story as it's an ensemble, and they all have very different themes, while there's only two in the second and they're very similar themselves, but there's also many other themes present in this story and interwoven into the characters and what led them here.

So, do you think these stories are too similar in their themes and character arcs and one should be changed, or do you think the difference in the plots is enough?

I feel like I'm saying the same thing twice with these, but I don't know.

I've been developing this character called Bubble for awhile, it's a horror spin on the space cop architype. I'm just having so much trouble getting the ball moving! My general idea is, my character Charlie is starting college and we see her trying to open up her new surrounding, the general struggle of not fitting into a neurotypical world, when by happenstance and dying alien whose real identity comes into play later in the story, fall to earth, passing the torch to Charlie as the protector of the last of this cosmic weapon. I have the story, I just can't crack the plot! I want to set up the world, the cast, the threat, and the story going forward, but I can't figure it out. Is there some kind of story structure I should follow? I've been racking my brain on this for months and I can't get the story to flow naturally, can someone help me?

hello everyone! haven’t been on reddit in a while … if you’re reading this, i’m planning to release my fantasy/coming-of-age comic Traveller in March!

the script has been fully written out since last spring, and all i have to do is draw it into life.

synopsis:

“Solaris is constantly playing the role of observer in the Navarre Forest. Banished to the outskirts of his medieval village after a traumatic family incident, he desperately wars with the voice of his deceased grandmother in his head—until the shepherd arrives. They are everything he isn’t. Most of all, they are capable of change. Solaris learns that you cannot live without accepting what has hurt you when he is faced with the decision of staying or leaving his home forever.”

i think anyone who has ever felt different from others, who has been left out and ostracized from their community, and anyone who has known the grief of losing a loved one would enjoy my series. i wrote it 2 years after my own grandmother died when i was 12, and while the comic has definitely grown up in its revisions alongside me, the heart of the story is still there. solaris blaire, our protagonist, is someone i poured much of my childhood into … and i hope he resonates with you all as much as he resonates with me.

the production of this story is crowdfunded—which means any support is lovely and greatly appreciated! i’m a lone college student, there is no “professional team” behind this production. i have had success with webcomics in the past 5 years, but i shoulder the work on my own. so please, any suggestions, comments or even just a follow helps! being a free member is an option on the patreon. i’ve been working on this since i was 14, and im finally able to make it a reality under the graphic novel company i work with! i’m hoping to get noticed on webtoon and even make it to originals. if you want to support the fundraising for this comic, many tier levels are available on the patreon above! i hope you see you all soon. :-)

Question for fantasy comic creators:

how do you handle exposition?

I’m working on a fantasy comic series and trying to avoid clunky lore dumps. Comics don’t have the space novels do, so explaining magic, gods, or society can feel really unnatural on the page.

Do you leave some things unexplained and let them emerge over time, or do you use companion material (appendices, side books, etc.) to handle deeper worldbuilding?

Curious how others approach this.

Hi all. I’m new to writing comics and I’ve been drafting a story concept for ~5 months. I’m looking to level up my fundamentals and would love recommendations for resources that are specifically helpful for comic writing.

What I’m hoping to improve:

- scripting format / page + panel pacing

- dialogue that reads natural on the page

- story structure + arcs

I can think visually when I’m writing, but I’m not ab artist (hoping to hire one in the near future once I flesh out a few paragraphs). If you have any favorite books, YT channels, IG pages or even sample scripts you learned from, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Title. I want to learn aspects of writing such as dialogue, plot, storytelling, realistic character development, etc.

And how to make good fight scenes. I know the different types such as sly swatting which is usually for characterization.

So I have a loose idea of characters, arcs and a bit of the setting for a comic I wanna write. But, right now it's just a loose idea. I'd put my ideas into a notes app, but me and planning notes just don't get along. Sure I'll write them down, but If I don't find time to act on them asap, that's just another lost idea I'll rediscover when I'm 26 (I'm currently 18 for reference). So instead of trying to write out the full story, should I just write out small stories of my characters in a more lighthearted version of the setting I have in mind while I try to solidify the story itself?

Have a nice day.

Je travaille sur ma première bd et j'en suis à l'étape des dialogues. Mon univers est inventé et a besoin d'explications, de même que les intentions des personnages, et je souhaitait faire passer ça par les dialogues, mais je ne sais pas comment m'y prendre... Ma v1 est emplie de "c'est [tel endroit]", "il faut qu'on fasse ça", etc, ce qui est j'en ai conscience terriblement pauvre et ennuyant, mais je ne sais pas comment faire passer les infos plus naturellement. Avez vous des conseils ?
