Each week iFanboy’s Josh Flanagan (Dixon’s Notch) moderates the Make Comics podcast, a dedicated discussion about the craft of comic creation co-hosted by Andy Schmidt, former editor for Marvel and IDW, as well as the founder of Comics Experience. It’s a valuable resource for anyone interested in trying their hand at producing their own comics, but it’s also an invaluable source of inspiration for anyone in the field.
This week? Building a Page
The foundation of the comic book story is the page. How a reader experiences a sequential story is determined by the layout and the storytelling skills of the artist. What does any of that mean to a newcomer? What works best? What is the grid, and how can you become proficient at building effective comic pages? We can’t solve all that for you, obviously, but we’ll give you a start in the right direction.
