The Prompt

Write a comic book or graphic novel script for the following:

Title: [working title]
Genre: [superhero / noir / horror / sci-fi / slice of life / fantasy / other]
Number of pages to script: [5 / 10 / 22 pages]
Protagonist: [name, power or skill, key personality trait]
Antagonist or conflict: [describe]
Setting: [time and place]
Tone: [serious / darkly comic / action-focused / character-driven / stylised]
Art style inspiration: [describe or name reference artists/books]
This script is: [a complete short story / the first issue of an ongoing / a one-shot]

Script format for each page:

PAGE [NUMBER] ([number of panels])

PANEL [NUMBER]:
DESCRIPTION: [What the artist draws — foreground, background, character positions, action, camera angle]
MOOD/LIGHTING: [Visual tone direction]
CHARACTER (if dialogue): "Dialogue here."
CAPTION (if narration): [Caption text in italics]
SFX: [Sound effect if applicable]

Requirements:
- Vary panel count per page (not every page is a 6-panel grid)
- Use splash pages and double-page spreads intentionally
- Write for the artist — describe what is needed, not how to draw it
- Dialogue should be minimal — comics are a visual medium
- Each page turn should create anticipation
- The final page must end on a hook or an image that resonates

After the script:
- Note your 3 most important visual moments and why they matter
- Suggest a cover image concept for this issue
