John, the DC writing comics book by Denny O’Neil is the closest I have found to a step by step guide to writing comics. I agree with you, the Bendis book is daunting and I had to dig hard for any gold.
Fantastic post. I wrote a comic script, and in my early research, could not find a standard way that it was done. I found a link to a place that shared works from notable writers, and they were all so wildly different. Ever seen an Alan Moore script? The one I saw was written in all caps, and sounded more like a series of notes written for one specific person. Like a one way conversation. Anyways, thank you for the resources and excellent write-up. I’ll be reading this again several more times.
Thanks!! I’ve seen Alan Moore’s scripts for From Hell but this is a good prompt to try to track down some more. I’d be curious to juxtapose how he’s communicated with different artists.
