Draw the comic pictures and scan the pages into the computer. The lettering of the story is the final part of the comic rather than the start. The story is written and outlined, then drawn; only then are the letters added. The pictures are finished and scanned into a computer.
Select a comic font that suits the comic design, art and story. There are several available fonts. If the art system does not have the appropriate font, online sources like Comic Craft and Loose Cruse have fonts available for download in a few different comic styles.
Type the lettering in the word bubbles, thought bubbles or spaces left for lettering. The primary location for words in a comic book is in the thought or speech bubbles, but some comic books have lettering telling a background story or short summary as well.
Check the writing for spelling and determine if the font size is appropriate. The letters should fit easily in the bubble. If the letters do not fit, change the size until they do or increase the size of the bubble until the words do not run out of the bubble.
