The 2000 AD Artist’s Ten Commandments
- The First Person To Speak Should Always Be On The Left
- Always Leave The Top 25% Of Each Panel Empty For Lettering (More If Necessary)
- Leave Room For The Title And Credits On The First Page
- Leave A 5Mm (On A3) Gutter Between Every Panel
- Keep The ‘Camera’ Angles Varied And Visually Interesting
- Tell The Story – Show What’s Relevant
- Make Your Characters Act And React – Get Inside Their Heads
- Never Bleed The Image Off The Last Panel Of The Story – Leave Room For ‘Next Prog’ Line
- Lead The Reader’s Eye Across The Page Smoothly
- If You’re Not Sure About Something, Ask The Editorial Team!
