What’s inside

How a comic & graphic novel is laid out

4 to 6 panels per page (a splash page at key beats) and at most 25 words per balloon. Each page is painted as one image with the panel grid in the prompt; balloons and SFX are vector overlays, never baked into the art.

The default voice is adventurous: momentum, discovery, brave choices. You can change the audience, tone and length in the Story step.

Before you publish

  • Speech balloons and sound effects are typeset over the art, never painted into it, so they stay sharp and editable.
  • The Kindle edition is fixed layout, so panels keep their composition on tablets.
