Comic design is about more than just coming up with a powerful villain or gruesome alien: it requires a lot of though and planning about the story line, weapons and props, modes of transportation and setting (city, outer space, underwater, etc).
Pulling all of this together may sound challenging, but with this book everything from how to create the story, characters and text balloons, to page layout / design, adding special effects and integrating 3D environments, is clearly explained. It teaches you how to create your own comics using super heroes, villains, aliens and more.
The book thoroughly explains how to craft a story from plot ideas to naming your characters. It details the design and creation of storyboards, page layouts, text balloon designs, font options and more.
