I'm a bit fuzzy still, so I thought I'd see what everyone else thought.

When our goal is to write one hundred pages, is that one hundred pages of comic book, or one hundred pages of script detailing said comic book? I assume the goal is to make the script one hundred pages long, regardless of how many pages it translates to in final form, but either one sounds reasonable to me.

From everything I've read, it's 100 pages of script. Now, I've found that for me, most of the time, 6 panels = 1 page of script, and the software I use paginates it into a new page of script each time I start a new page in the comic (Tested using old ideas). So it can equal the same thing.

it's 100 script pages, which depending on how much detail you put into it, can be a lot or a little. Alan Moore could easily spend 100 pages detailing an 8 page minicomic XD

Mine worked out to 100 pages exactly last year and I had material for four 28-page issues. I'm going for the same goal, 4 issues, and if it's more then great, if it's less I guess I need to come up with a 5th one XD

Great advice. Thank you for taking your time to answer the question.

Thanks, guys. Just what I needed to know. I'm terrible with detail, so I'll probably end up with over a hundred pages of comic, but we'll see.

Good luck to you all!

It's 100 pages of script.

Maybe I'm weird, but I tend to have 3-4 pages of comics for every page of script. Then again I write my scripts as screenplays, without any panel details and stuff, and I often have a few pages with very little or no dialog. So a 100 page script for me would be a 350 page comic. :D

But that's so much more diffic--- uhh. Thanks for clearing that up, I was just about to ask.
