Comic Script Generator
Panels, dialogue, SFX. As text.
A comic script generator that outputs an actual script — panel descriptions, character actions, dialogue, sound effects — not a rendered comic. Use the script to render here, hand it to a human artist, or just sketch your own panels from it.

Script first. You approve. Then we render.
Most 'AI comic' tools skip the script and jump straight to rendering. The script is invisible — you can't read it, edit it as text, or hand it to an artist. The comic script generator surfaces the script as a real artifact: standard panel/dialogue notation, exportable, editable as plain text. If you write comics for a living, prototype scripts before commissioning art, or just prefer thinking in text before pixels, this is the entry point. Comicory AI comic generator
What a Comic Script Actually Looks Like
There are two conventions in the industry — Marvel/DC tight-script and Alan Moore loose-script. The generator outputs in standard tight-script format because it's the more common starting point for working artists.
Panel Headers
Each panel starts with PANEL 1, PANEL 2, etc. The panel header is followed by an action description — what's in the panel, who's present, what the visual emphasis is. Example: "PANEL 1. Wide shot. KENJI stands on the rooftop at dusk, hands in pockets. The city skyline glows behind him."
Dialogue and Captions
Dialogue is labeled by character: KENJI: "I told you not to come." Captions (narration) are CAPTION: "The next morning, the city was still." Both go below the panel description, in the order they appear in the panel reading flow.
Sound Effects (SFX)
SFX go on their own line: SFX: KRAKKK. The renderer places them visually; the script lists them. A clean script labels every SFX with which panel it belongs to and where in the panel it should land.
From Script to Final Comic
Three paths once you have the script. The generator lets you take any of them — the script itself is the artifact, the rendering is optional.
Render in Comicory
The natural path. Hit Render after editing the script and the renderer produces the panels with character consistency. The script feeds into the same pipeline as the regular comic generator — just with you having more control over the underlying text.
Hand to a Human Artist
If you're working with a freelance artist, hand them the script as a plain-text or PDF export. Standard tight-script format is what working comic artists expect — you don't have to translate. Useful for indie publishers who like AI for ideation but want hand-drawn art.
Sketch It Yourself
If you're learning to draw and want a script to practice from, generate one and draw the panels by hand. The constraint of someone else's script forces you to focus on craft rather than story.
How Long Should a Comic Script Be?
Working conventions: a single comic page is typically 5–9 panels and 75–150 words of dialogue. A 22-page issue runs roughly 1,500–3,000 words of dialogue plus action descriptions. A web-comic strip is 4–8 panels, 30–60 words. The generator accepts a story of any length and produces a script appropriately sized — short input becomes a strip, long input becomes a multi-page issue. You can also specify target panel count explicitly.
Questions
About this generator.
Text. A standard tight-script comic script with panel descriptions, dialogue, and SFX notation. You can export it as plain text or PDF. If you want the panels rendered too, hit Render and the script feeds into the comic generator pipeline — but the script itself is the artifact.
Industry-standard tight-script (Marvel/DC convention). Each panel gets a header (PANEL 1, PANEL 2), an action description, character-labeled dialogue, captions, and SFX lines. Working comic artists are accustomed to reading this format; no translation needed if you're handing the script to a freelancer.
PDF export is in scope. .fountain (screenplay format adapted for comics) is on the roadmap. Plain-text copy-paste works today — paste into Google Docs, Scrivener, or whatever your writing tool is, and the formatting carries over.
Yes — this is one of the main use cases. Generate a script, edit it, export, and hand it to your artist. The script is in standard comics-industry format. You can use AI for the ideation/script-writing step and keep the visual craft hand-drawn.
Good for first drafts, weak for voice. The generator handles structure (where to break panels, where dialogue goes, when to insert SFX) reliably. Character voice — what makes a Brian K. Vaughan script different from a Warren Ellis script — is where you'll still want to edit by hand. Treat the output as scaffolding.
Yes — feed the generator a series outline and ask for a multi-issue script breakdown, or generate issue-by-issue with a saved series bible (characters, setting, plot threads) that the generator references each time. Character library keeps the cast consistent across scripts.
