Comic Book Script Project
- Check out this website. Create a superhero. Give the character a special "power". Save & print out the graphic. NOTE: (optional) check out Champions Online. You can design your own superhero concepts for this online game. If you're having trouble with HM 3.0, check out earlier versions: Hero Machine 2.
- Use your character creation to create a short comic book script for this character. All films, plays, stories, comics, etc. start with a premise. What is this issue going to be about? Sketch out an idea for your story.
- Use the handouts to help you create your comic book script. To see sample pages of a script, check here.
- A draft of the script is due Monday, May 16. It must be at least 1 page long. It may need to be more than that to develop a story line or plot for your issue.
- For extra credit you may choose to illustrate 1 page of your script in Comic Life.
