Parts of a Comic Book
Different style elements are combined that make a comic book unique. It is more than just a bound copy of colorful pages and near indestructible superheroes, villains, aliens, and monsters. Without the different parts of a comic book, the books would look like any other paper back. People pick up a comic to read and see the bright pages, word balloons, and panels that illustrate the action and adventure they are about to embark on.
The first part of the comic book that should be worked on and completed is the script. The script is the written directions for how the comic will be put together. Also included in the script is the dialogue. The script often looks similar to a screenplay. There are two ways in which the script can be written. A full script includes the details of each story panel and how the plot will fold out. The second way to write the script is using the plot method. The plot method is less descriptive and more collaborative with the artist. The writer trusts the artist to fill in the details. Both of the script writing methods include the story, characters, and artists for the comic.
The pages of a comic are the part in the script where the writer tells what happens on each page. On the pages there are panels which are either rectangles or squares. This is where the writer puts the action of the script. These elements of a comic are like the blue print for the book. A splash page is used for dramatic effects. This is usually a panel that takes up the entire page and shows attention to a specific event or introduction to the story. If there is some type of explosion, you’ll usually see a splash page with flames and the word “Ka-boom!” on it.
The most unique part of a comic is the balloons. The balloons serve two purposes: one for showing the dialogue of characters, or words and the other for what the characters are thinking. The balloons are used to show where in the story dialogue or thinking is occurring. It is better to draw the action first and then add the balloons after. Drawing the balloons last is easier for editing purposes. If a comic is being drawn digitally on a computer, the balloons are easier to move around on the page and be placed where there is the most space on the page. There is often a third voice in a comic, or the narrator. The narrators can help move the plot along and give insight into what a character thinks or feels. To show the third voice, narratory blocks are used. They are the little rectangles or squares that we see on the pages. It is where you find special information about the story.

Top 10 Shortcuts to Get Rich
Most of us once or are now dreaming of being rich, earn lots of money. Although many people hate to admit it, sometimes all you need to be rich is dumb luck—a big lotto wins, or finding a buried treasure. Other shortcuts to wealth come with strings attached: marrying rich, divorce, or lawsuits, for example.
According to July data of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, average American works for an average wage of $22.59 per hour. But, there are the few who made fortunes without much labor. How can they get rich? The following statement lists top 10 easy ways to own lots of money.
·Win the lottery
Most people dream of hitting the lottery just once, like Hurley in Lost. One biggest score is enough to be a millionaire. This is why more and more people love to buy a lottery ticket or to win a lottery game.
·Find treasure in your basement
It will be an unexpected pleasure if you can find some treasure, valuable comic books, a limited edition of music recording, or an antique, in your junk at the basement.
·Inherit a fortune
Inheriting wealth will be a little bit difficult, and the feds will come for their share, but it is indeed another easy way for people to get rich.
·Marry rich
Girls can take advantage of this way. If you marry with a rich man, then you needn't worry about the future life. Although the wealthy will sign the prenuptial agreement, you can still enjoy some of life's luxuries.
·Divorce a Beatle
This may not be a good choice since divorce is often messy and emotional, and there's hardly anything easy about it. But, in some cases, one party comes away with a big chunk of change.
·Be born rich
The world's royals are still among the wealthiest, like those prince or princess. Even Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ is one of the richest royal members.
·Unearth gold with a metal detector
Most of us are used to work on getting tan while a few people may find their own way to get rich--treasure hunting. An unemployed Briton, Terry Herbert, recently get $2.5 million due to the gold and silver pieces he found at a friend's farm.
·Catch a record-breaking ball, and then sell it
In 2004, Pat Carroll caught the football kicked out by Beckham on the penalties between England and Portugal and sold it later on EBay for EU$10 million.
·Keep quiet about a relationship with a bigwig
Silence is golden, particularly when a celebrity wants to keep quiet about personal matters. Cases like this are too numerous to list. Recently, Tiger Woods reportedly paid Mistress Rachel Uchitel $10 million to keep quiet about their affair.
·Live atop a lake of oil
This is a kind of like finding a treasure in your home. But, people, like the residents of Stanley, ND, fell into fortune in 2008 when oil companies started to show interest in drilling on their property -- and hit large reserves. As a result, the town is booming and many residents are swiftly becoming millionaires.
Although there are many shortcuts for us to be rich, we are not encouraged to design a scheme for it. Just let is be when luck and fortune come to hit you, or you should work hard to find some innovative ways.
