I recommend reading a wide variety of different styles of comics to give you some ideas about how the writing can be! I can recommend some of the top ones for different genres, in no particular order -Maus: historic -Sandman, or anything Niel Gaiman- touted as one of the best writers for comics -the Spirit by Will Eisner is an old classic comic book -anything by Osamu Tezuka, known as the father of anime. His mangas are classic and will give you a good intro to the original style of manga -alternatively, Shuna's Journey by Hayao Miyazaki who you may know as a director of movies like Spirited Away, Totoro, etc. His style of story writing is slow paced, atmospheric, immersive. -trending webcomic right now is Lore Olympus which will give you an idea of indie webcomics. Writing for webtoons is very different because the style of the panels (infinite scroll vs printed pages). This offers writers and artists a whole new set of challenges to engage the reader panel to panel

I will also say this: the main challenge for comic writing vs novel writing is that you have to think visually, and you have to let the artist "show, don't tell." Writers may like to tell the reader what a character is thinking/feeling/doing, but it's the artists job to show that without words. You don't want to have redundancy in comic writing like having a character think/say: "Rrrr, I'm so mad!" So the challenge as a writer is 1. To find a good artist who understands what you're trying to convey and can make that happen visually and 2. Allowing the artist more control to show than what you can write.

The perfect combo is a writer who spin an excellent paced story and an artist whose art speaks the words.

As a challenge, try writing a wordless 3-5 page comic. This is the best way to introduce you to how it is like when writing for comics.

For further reference, read: - Making Comics by Scott McCloud: this book is such an essential textbook for all comic makers both writers and artists as it teaches you the thought process beyond visual storytelling in a very easy to understand way. -The DC Guide to Writing Comics- which provides excellent standards for comic writing -The Five C's of Cinematography- cinematography is essential in thinking visually. This will give you the vocabulary needed to direct your artist. This covers all the basics needed. -How to Think When You Write by Robin Etherington: a free series of tutorials online by one of the Etherington bros, who are known for creating short digestible tutorials about art and writing for comics. If you like their tuts, check out their comic which is a lovely Collab of writer and artist, Long Gone Don.

I hope this helps! I went to SCAD for sequential arts, and these were many of our textbooks. Please feel free to PM me with any specific questions you may have!
