Using the Comic & Manga Maker

Panels, layouts, characters, dialogue, and generating consistent art.

Comic and Manga share the same editor -- the only differences are art style (color vs. black-and-white line art) and reading direction (left-to-right vs. right-to-left for Manga).

Building a story

  1. Describe a panel. Click a panel, write what happens in the **Scene
Description** box -- one clear sentence usually works better than a long paragraph ("A hero stands on a rooftop overlooking a neon city at night, cape snapping in the wind").
  1. Press Generate Panel. It takes roughly 10-20 seconds; the panel shows a
spinner while it works.
  1. Click + Add Panel to continue the story, or use a layout (2-up,
3-up, grid) to lay out a full page at once.
  1. Generate All runs every panel that has a description and no art yet, in
order -- useful once you've written out a whole scene before generating any of it.

Splitting a script into panels automatically

If you already have a written scene or short script, use Story in the toolbar to paste it in and choose how many panels to split it into -- it writes a description into each panel for you to review and generate.

Dialogue, sound effects, and narration

Switch to the Text tab on the right for each panel to add:

  • Dialogue (speech bubble)
  • SFX (manga-style sound effect lettering, e.g. "BOOM")
  • Narration (caption box)
These render over the generated art -- you can add or edit them after generating, no need to regenerate the panel.

Keeping a character consistent across panels

Freehand text prompts alone tend to drift -- the same "silver-haired girl" looks a little different every panel. Two ways to fix that:

(describe them, or upload art you already have), then pick that character from the Character dropdown on any panel. Every panel using that character shares their face, hair, and outfit.
  • Upload a reference/pose sketch directly on a panel (when no character is
selected) -- useful for a specific pose or angle rather than a full character identity.

Regenerating and undo

  • Regenerate reruns a panel that already has art, using the same prompt --
costs another token, replaces the image.
  • Cmd/Ctrl+Z (and Shift+Z to redo) undoes structural changes: adding,
removing, or reordering panels, switching layout, and generating. It does not undo individual keystrokes in a text box.
  • Reorder panels by dragging them in the left rail.

Publishing to a contest

If a weekly contest is running, a contest picker appears next to Publish -- select one before publishing to submit your comic to it.
