Comics are a narrative medium that combines strong visual images and supporting text to tell a story. Lots of fans want to make their own comic books. But the difficulty\u200a\u2014\u200aeven if you’ve read thousands of comics and developed a unique and captivating drawing style\u200a\u2014\u200ais that once you sit down to start, you don’t know\u00a0<\/strong>how to begin writing a comic book. Reading comic books and writing are quite different things!<\/p>

While you must read and enjoy comic books if you want to write them, writing them involves specialist knowledge and skills. So, in this post, we’re going to take you through the fundamentals that you need to take the first vital step toward creating a comic book that people will want to buy and read.<\/p>

The first goal of every comic book writer isn’t to introduce their snazzy hero or heroine character; it’s not to set the scene, either; and it’s not even to get the story rolling. So, what is it? To answer that, think about why you enjoy reading the comic books that you love.<\/p>

Sure, you have favorite characters and settings; you love the artist’s style and the composition of the panels; you just love reading your favorite comics because\u2026 why?<\/p>

Well, here’s the thing. The characters, the plot, the setting, the dialogue, the artwork, the layout; these all matter. These are the tools that the comic book creator\u200a\u2014\u200aor the writer\/artist team\u200a\u2014\u200aused to captivate you. But in themselves, they’re not what the comic book is about. If they were, then every comic book with characters, a setting, a plot, and beautiful artwork would be wildly famous and all comics would be as good as each other. But they’re not. And here’s why.<\/p>

When you read a comic book\u200a\u2014\u200aor go to the movies, play a game, read a regular novel, or see a show\u200a\u2014\u200ayou want to feel a powerful emotional response. It’s the opposite of being bored. Have you ever started a comic that wasn’t up to much and set it aside, saying, “I didn’t like it. It was boring.” What that means\u200a\u2014\u200athat it was boring\u200a\u2014\u200ais that it didn’t engage your emotions. When you read a comic book, you want to feel excitement, tension, fear, anxiety, happiness, intrigue, joy, passion. That’s what makes a good comic: the emotional ride on which it takes the reader. If that ride’s a rollercoaster, all the better!<\/p>

So, when you’re thinking about how to begin writing a comic book, your goal should be to use all the storytelling tools at your disposal\u200a\u2014\u200acharacter, setting, plot, artwork, dialogue, etc.,\u200a\u2014\u200ato provoke as strong an emotional response in your reader as possible. Focus on making them\u00a0feel<\/em>. Make them laugh, make them cry, keep them on the edge of their seat, keep them turning the pages because they’re caught up in a maelstrom of emotions.<\/p>

That’s the key to any good story. And it’s the key to a good comic, too. So, now let’s look at how to begin writing a comic book by boiling the entire process down to the essentials.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
