My name is Loki. I am a Norse god and I have appeared on many comics. I am going to show you some tricks to make a wonderful one, but first I need you to check the parts of a comic on page 115. Now, we need important natural, historical and cultural information. Write a sentence to mention the details of the place, time and actions for our scenes.
My sentence:
Example: In a hot morning on April 6, 1915, Alvaro Obregon arrived in Celaya and got prepared. Pancho Villa arrived soon with the best cavalry . They fought for 10 days and Obregon won the battle.
In a comic, we can’t write all that information as in a novel. Use a caption to give the details. Make a character explain what is going on by using a speech or thought bubble.
I t was a hot morning on April 6, 1915, in Celaya. Pancho Villa is coming. We must be prepared.
When you include dialogues, be careful with punctuation. Use a period 1 at the end of statements, a question mark 2 at the end of questions, an exclamation mark 3 after phrases that express surprise or more intensity, and a comma 4 when characters say the name of the person they are talking to.
Ten days later…
I won, 4 Pancho. 1 Are you surprised? 2 You had the best horses but I had the best men! 3
