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 before rendering: standard panel descriptions, dialogue, and sound effects you can review and edit. 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, review the generated panel descriptions and dialogue, then copy them into your preferred writing document before sharing. Built-in document and PDF export are not available yet.
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.
It gives you an editable panel-by-panel script first: visual descriptions, dialogue, captions, and sound effects. When the script is ready, hit Render to generate the comic panels.
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.
Not yet. Comicory currently lets you review and edit the script before rendering, but it does not generate PDF or .fountain files. For a writing-only workflow, copy the panel descriptions and dialogue into Google Docs, Scrivener, or your preferred script editor.
Yes. Generate and edit the panel plan in Comicory, then copy the descriptions and dialogue into the document you share with your artist. You can use AI for ideation and script drafting while keeping 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.
