Useful reference material

Some good reading that you might find useful when trying to craft scripts:

Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud:

www.amazon.com/Understanding-Comics-Invisible-Scott-McCloud/dp/006097625X

Pretty much the first book you should read. I can't imagine trying to tackle anything comics related without it.

Making Comics by Scott McCloud:

www.amazon.com/Making-Comics-Storytelling-Secrets-Graphic/dp/0060780940/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332619985&sr=1-1

I only read this for the first time recently, but it's really great. Very practical. McCloud also wrote Reinventing Comics in between these two, but you can skip that. It's kinda dated.

Comics and Sequential Art by Will Eisner:

www.amazon.com/Comics-Sequential-Art-Principles-Instructional/dp/0393331261/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332620042&sr=1-1

Before McCloud, this was the defacto standard textbook for comics. It's still very much worth reading.

There are others, but those three are my favorites.

Okay, I found a reference chart for sound effects used in comics courtesy of Mangatutorials.com. bit.ly/Hc949u

Hope this helps!

This explains creative commons licensing and how it can protect your work while still making it readily available to the public.

Very valuable for original works.
