Final Draft for comic books?

Posted by Rob M. Worley on Sep 25, 2005 in About Writing | 1 comment

I wonder if any comic book writers who use Final Draft have a nice template for comic writing. One that would be like:

PAGE 1 - PANEL 1
Spider-Man backflips over Sandman and dumps a bucket of
water on his head.
SOUND F/X
SPLOOSH!
SPIDER-MAN
Here's mud in your eyes,
chuckles!
SANDMAN
Garrr!

Not too different from the screenplay format, but it’s different enough that the auto-formatting for screenplays gets in the way.

If any has or comes across such a template, please alert me immediately.

I’m standing by for your call.

(Note to Bendis: don’t steal my awesome Spider-Man idea)

    In a sane world, someone would have this ready as an off-the-shelf option.

    Of course, in a sane world, the AP Style Guide would be a plug-in for Microsoft Word, too.
