The technique for writing a comic book script is much the same as that for writing a TV script. Split the page vertically and label the left hand side audio and the right hand side video (visual) - but in this case on the one side put 'dialog' and on the other 'graphic'. A line is drawn between each frame. If it is easier mechanically, say with a word processor, one can write the dialog box and then immediately below it put the graphic box. The graphic description needs to be only sufficient so that the artist can know the details, emotion, feel to communicate. The artist will tell the visual story but the writer determines the plot.
