Description
Every comic book writer brings their own format and style to the task. Here's examples from some of the top names showing how they do it, including a Neil Gaiman script for Miracleman, a drawn script by Jeff Smith, a Jay & Silent Bob comic book script by filmmaker Kevin Smith, a script for Marvel's Deathlok from Milestone Media cofounder Dwayne McDuffie, a plot from Blade and Cyborg co-creator Marv Wolfman, a GoGirl! script by Eisner Hall Of Famer Trina Robbins, a Greg Rucka script from the Eisner Award-winning Whiteout: Melt, and a script by Eisner Award nominee Nat Gertler paired with the finished art by Eisner winner Steve Lieber.
These sample scripts make a great resource for aspiring comic writers to learn from, for aspiring artists to learn what to expect, and for those who are just curious about how it's done.
