You certainly have the right ideas, which are important to make known to the public! And you have an incredibly active mind.
But I'm concerned about the execution.
The pages are so jam-packed with information that your message (or messages) may get lost.
You ask a lot of the reader! Who has the time and patience to decipher everything you present? You totally overwhelm your readers!
And because of that you risk being ignored.
Let's take a look at a description of a traditional comic book:
The form and style of a traditional comic book are designed to achieve efficient, dynamic, and immersive sequential storytelling by seamlessly blending text and images.
Specifically, these design choices are structured to accomplish the following goals:
Visual Delivery and Engagement:
* Establish Pacing: Variations in panel size, shape, and placement control how fast the reader moves through the story and emphasize key moments.
* Create Motion: Dynamic framing, dramatic camera angles, and foreshortening give static drawings the high-energy feel of a movie freeze-frame.
* Convey Emotion: Exaggerated facial expressions and stylized anatomy immediately project a character's internal state and power to the reader.
Clarity and Readability:
* Guide the Eye: The standardized grid format and logical flow (typically left-to-right, top-to-bottom) seamlessly guide the reader's gaze across the page.
* Blend Text and Art: Speech bubbles and narration boxes act as visual anchors, connecting dialogue directly to the speaking characters without cluttering the artwork.
* Enhance Atmosphere: High-contrast ink lines, flat or halftone shading, and illustrated text sound effects (like "POW!" or "WHAM") provide immediate sensory texture to a scene.
Well, when you consider traditional comic books, yours are so radical that I think most folks just wouldn't be able to get their heads around them!
Maybe you should consider toning down your enthusiasm to get your core message/messages across?
What do you think?
