How will people be able to tell the order of the panels in my comic book?

Question

Are there any good guidelines I should be aware of?

Answer 1

I am not quite sure of what you are looking for specifically could you please rephrase? By the way do you know of any good programs that allow you to create comic books via the computer?

Answer 2

Generally left to right to begin with but certainly not always....to keep it interesting, its the 'way' you arrange your drawings and panels that will guide the reader through your story the way you intend. Hard to explain fully here, but I advise you get a book on the subject and it'll explain it well. Books or internet reference will explain how important the layout of your page is, as much as your story for good visuals. Study existing comic pages to see the different variations and you'll get the idea.

Answer 3

theres the common sence of left to right

Answer 4

American comics read left to right, top to bottom.

You should look at actual comics for inspiration on different ways to situate your panels, but this is the general rule.
