Ok so I’m story boarding like a demond (well ok I managed like five pages but hey I’m getting there ok!) and the thing is peppered with the most awful tongue in cheek type humour – the sort of thing that makes my husband groan :/ A few years a go I drew a series […]
The Punk is such a large story and there are starting to be so many things that could be little side spin offs that I am starting to feel scared of even attempting it :/ The comics are something that has cuased me to assess what I want from The Punk – I want the […]
The Punk is physically 12 and living with a foster family in Babel, her best friend Jesu hangs around waiting for her – they head off into Babel itself and look at the Tower which is almost completed. It is a comms tower and so much more – housing the core of their super computer […]
From reading on the Forum, various websites and from looking at the comics on the shelf it would appear that a comic is 20-25 pages, a graphic novel (what I would call a comic BOOK) has like 4-5 chapters of this sort of length in it and each page has a maximium of 9 panels. […]
I have decided to go from just before Babel is destroyed in the comic books and think they will be a series that can be read as individual magizine type comics or as a longer comic book type thing – five or so of the smaller books put together. One of the things I have […]

Well I have been doing alot of reading up on comic books and graphic novels – firstly what do they mean the target audience is male between 18-30? Most of the comic book consumers I know are female :/ Even the publishing side of things seems to assume you are male :/ I know there […]
Ok so I had a radical rethink and came to the conclusion that the Punks WHOLE LIFE would make an interesting comic series that could be sold as the normal comic magizine type things or almalogmated into larger collections to make a ‘graphic novel’. This is a bit scary as I still have many unanswered […]
Well I did have a plan but it was built on a foundation of assumption i.e. that a comic book script was basically a storyboard – this is not the case :/ You have to describe each panel etc… which means I have to story board the whole thing and then write the script from […]
So it is the first day of Script Frenzy and I realise I know like nothing about how to write a comic book script – well I realised this last week actually and spent sometime going over threads on the Screnzy Forum. I discovered many things such as the fact that often it isn’t the […]
