Basic Comic Terminology

[nolan]

Just so the people that are new to comics have some idea what we're talking about when we talking about panels, pages, word balloons, captions, etc.



www.teachingcomics.org/studyguide/terminology.pdf Focused a lot on the printing side of it. Doesn't make a distinction between first and third person captions.

I'll post more later.

Sticky!

Good idea.


And BTW, if anyone asks about the difference between "speech balloon" and "speech bubble," use whatever you want, we know what you're talking about.

Speech bubble is SO manga.

We Americans prefer balloons.

That was more a reference to John Byrne's comments about it.

Seriosuly, this board is for people to ask the most basic of questions without the normal comic fan snippiness. This is probably the board where I'll be harshest (while the ideology board is the one where I'll be the easiest on people).

I remember that thread from Digital Webbing with the script terminology (I go by DarkOra over there, and I'm the moderator for DW's Writers Showcase forum). Here's a link to an article I wrote a while back that could also be a helpful resource:

Anatomy of a Comic Book

And if you have trouble getting to the article at the Scryptic Studios site because of the hosting issues we're currently encountering, I already have the article up as part of my testing for the new Scryptic website, which I'm rebuilding from the ground up. You can find that here (but if you notice some odd things with the site, it's because I'm still working on the new code).
