I love all these peeks behind the scenes you share! Getting to see how all the magic comes together is such a treat. I love how much of a collaborative effort comics are, the back and forth between everyone and the amazing results in the end. They're such a special format that sadly often doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.

Thank you for posting this! I've always wanted to see the behind-the-scenes process of a comic book making. Very cool.

This was a very interesting post! The High Republic is what introduced me to Comics and while I think it's not really THE medium for me (I struggle to understand the pacing of stories), I have been really interested in how Comics are made. I knew there were different artists involved and guessed it was a lot of back and forth and sharing notes, but I didn't know the lettering only came in in the end! I mean, ario probably has in mind that he needs to leave space for speech bubbles but it's a bit mindblowing that they aren't added until the end (unless I am missing something here). How do you know they will fit? That would make me nervous, haha. Thank you for that post, it was really informative and well written!

Mr Scott. First off, thank you for showing your process! Do you use word for your scripts or a program like final draft?

This makes me appreciate all the hard work that goes behind making comics even more. I am loving the High Republic comics and can’t wait to see what comes next in Phase 3. Thank you for the fascinating insight! 😊

Thanks for this insight into the collaborative process. That is a lot of spinning plates! I agree with Mark's comment seeing the screenplay similarities. I suppose it can vary whether each page or each panel is a scene. Makes me wonder whether some of my written ideas, novels and screenplays, could be worked into a comic. It would certainly be a fun medium to explore... Do you have any tips for finding artists to work with (sending them scripts?), beyond the convention floor? Though I will try that more next time I'm at a comic con.

Very interesting to see how the scripting works. It’s similar to but not quite the same as a screenplay.
