I've been writing for years, and have recently started developing a comic book script. When I was working on my BA in English with a creative writing emphasis I wrote a lot of quick SciFi and fantasy stories that I thought would make cool comic books or graphic novels.

However, when trying to switch a story from the narrative print-style to a panel based comic book style, I found the task very daunting. I know how I want the story to be structured within in the confines of a 24 page comic, and I'm able to write it out like a movie script, but I'm a little clueless on how to organize the individual panels on each page.

Not having any type of graphic art talent makes it kind of tough to decide how the panels should be laid out on each page. Are there any comic script programs that help with this? I have Celtx on my computer which is what I've used to write video scripts for the business where I work. It works great for that purpose and
it does have a comic book script option as well, but I don't see anything to help with panel formats.

Does anyone else use a program they like for scripting comics or have any tips on formatting panels without needing to physically draw out each page? Let me know! I welcome any and all comments.
