Procedure in writing a Comic Book

The key thing that a comic book author must do is to work out on the structure of the story visually in his/her brain. The writer must always have the entire story in his/her mind. The content written should know what he or she is writing, there should not be any confusion, the events happening should be in a sequences without any unwanted interruption. Simplicity of views allows the artist to represent the story in an efficient manner. In brief, the reader should not face much complexity in understanding the content written by the writer. The writer must be very careful; horror should never creep into a comic book.

The story should not be dragging and dialogs must be used only when the requirement arises. Only when the story is energetic and fast it maintains the interest levels of the reader. The characters should draw the interest of the readers. For more information one should read various comic book resources, this will give you an idea to write a comic book.

Black's Evidence of Murder- Is a clear-cut story

Jillian Perry is a wife of a rich video game creator and has a little child. Perry and the little girl are found dead in the frosty woods near Cleveland. The police do not take this as a serious matter and closes the death as a suicide.

Theresa MacLean a Medical examiner gets deeper into the case and suspects that Jillian was murdered. But the problem is that there is no evidence to show how she died and more complications because she has no wounds, no evidence of drugs or poison and nothing.
Every one considers that she walked into the woods and was frozen to death. But Theresa moves deeper into the investigation, as she keeps digging, she make out that the killer is about to strike again.

The solution to the mystery involves clever work by Theresa, who explores the mind of the murderer and turns his brilliance against him.

With Evidence of Murder, Black creates memorable characters and a clear plot. As she is a forensic scientist herself, shows her handling of the technical aspects and does few experiments in the case.

Black's writing is clear, uncomplicated and very easy to read, except in few clunky sentences. No doubt that Black is one of the best writers in the mystery genre.
