What goes into a comic book submission?
I provide advice about how to write novels, comic books and graphic novels. Most of my content applies to fiction-writing in general, but I also provide articles specifically about superhero stories.
Short answer: usually some combination of…
- Script of the first issue.
- Synopsis of the larger work (either the first issue, arc or series as a whole).
- Sample pages inked, colored and lettered.
For a more detailed look at these three items, I’ll focus on Dark Horse specifically because I think DH is pretty standard. But always check the publisher’s submissions page. For example, Dark Horse’s submissions page is here and Image’s is here.
