Example Output
ISSUE #1, PAGE 3
Panel 1 (Full width, establishing shot) Composition: Wide angle of abandoned warehouse interior. Moonlight streams through broken windows on the left, casting long shadows across concrete. Sarah stands center-left, silhouetted against light, hand on hip. Debris scattered in foreground.
Dialogue: SARAH: "So this is where they've been hiding."
Panel 2 (3/4 width, medium close-up) Composition: Profile of Sarah's face. Expression shifts from determination to concern—eyes narrowing, jaw tightening. Small details: scar on cheek visible, one eyebrow raised. Background blurred.
Dialogue: SARAH: "But where are they now?"
Panel 3 (1/4 width, vertical emphasis) Composition: Extreme close-up of single footprint in dust, illuminated by flashlight beam. Sharp focus on print detail; background completely blurred. Creates moment of discovery.
SFX: CRUNCH
Panel 4 (Half width, action shot) Composition: Pull back to medium shot of Sarah spinning around, hand drawing weapon from holster. Hair and coat caught mid-motion. Eyes wide, scanning darkness ahead. Conveyed urgency and danger.
Dialogue: SARAH: "Show yourself!"
Artist Notes: Panels 1–4 establish tension through location, character reaction, and discovery. Panel 3's narrow width accelerates reader's eye and intensifies suspense. Visual flow moves downward and rightward for natural reading rhythm.
