As part of our blog's 3 year anniversary extravaganza, artist Andy Bennett made a series of posts titled From Script to Sequential. Within this series, he demonstrated his process for going from a page of comic book script to the finished page of sequential art. I've collected all the individual posts below for quick reference.
As a comics writer, I've always been fascinated by the thought process that goes into laying out a page of sequential art. Even fans of the medium seem to underestimate the amount of work involved in creating a page of art that's not only well crafted, but also succeeds in telling a story. After reading Andy's posts I think you too will have a newfound appreciation for the skills of comic book artists.
By the way, be sure to click on the comments section of each post. Even though the counter may indicate zero comments, there are indeed posts there in the form of bonus material, feedback, and other thoughts.
