economy of line is paramount each panel and page must be carefully constructed consider how much will fit on the page choose whether to prioritise ideas or form comics are generally at their best when the words do not repeat the effects of the art and vice versa juxtaposition is an important tool the reading process is one of interpretation rather than perception the reader is inextricable from the art what happens off the page is as important as what happens on it all the right notes, not necessarily in the right order
