In the film industry, there's, as I heard, a standard on how to write screenplays (Like, font, formatting and stuff), which ensures that one page of script more or less equals to one minute of film.

Does anybody know if anything similar exists for comic scripts?

I run constantly in the situation where I either think "Dang there's a lot going on, I'll need to split it into two pages" - it ends up fitting into one, or "Well, there's nothing much going on, one page will be enough, right?" - and it ends up requiring two pages to properly convey the moment.

I don't know... just gonna share how I do things using my most recent episode vs it's script form


From what I know there isn't really a standard for comics. Some writers will write panel by panel, some page by page and others go buck wild and just write.

At the end of the day, as long as they can communicate what they want to the artist that needs to translate the script to drawn pages, it's all fine.
