Comic-Panel-Prompts, die eine Geschichte auf einer Seite erzählen

A full comic page in the Franco-Belgian clear-line tradition, six equal panels in a three-row grid with clean white gutters. A young courier in a red jacket rides a yellow scooter through a sunny harbour town: top row, she collects a parcel at a bakery door and sets off; middle row, she swerves around a fruit cart and crosses a stone bridge; bottom row, she climbs a hill of pastel houses and hands the parcel to a waving old man. Uniform black outlines, flat unshaded colour, no hatching. One blank white speech balloon in the first and last panels. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.

A wordless black-and-white manga page with screentone shading and five panels with thin white gutters. A student with a short bob, in a blazer, trousers and a backpack, races for the morning train: a tall panel of her sprinting down empty station stairs, a small inset of her sneaker hitting the platform edge, a diagonal-cut panel of the train doors sliding closed, a close-up of her backpack squeezing through the gap, and a wide bottom panel of her slumped on a carriage seat, seen from behind. Crisp ink, grey dot screentone, blank walls and signs, motion shown only by straight speed lines. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.

A comic page in the American noir tradition, drawn in pure black brush ink on white with no greys, five panels with heavy black borders. A detective in a long coat and brimmed hat, face always in shadow, walks through a rain-soaked city at night: a wide establishing panel of wet rooftops and a water tower, a narrow vertical panel of his silhouette under a streetlamp, a close-up of shoes splashing a puddle, an empty office striped with window-blind shadows, and a final wide panel of him seen from behind facing a lit doorway. Bold spotted blacks, stark negative space, one blank white caption box in the top corner. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.

A four-panel newspaper gag strip arranged as a two-by-two grid on slightly yellowed newsprint, drawn with a loose felt-tip line and flat colour under coarse halftone dots. A round orange cat eyes a small potted fern on a windowsill: first panel, the cat stares at the plant; second, one paw creeps towards the pot; third, the pot is tipped over and soil is scattered while the cat looks away innocently; fourth, the cat sleeps curled inside the empty pot. Simple backgrounds, thick panel borders, one small blank white thought bubble above the cat in the first panel. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.

A vertical-scroll webcomic strip of four stacked wide panels with generous white gutters between them, drawn in soft flat pastel colours with thin brown outlines and no shading. A quiet rainy afternoon at home: the top panel shows rain on a window with a kettle steaming beside it, the second shows two hands pouring tea into a mug, the third shows a person in an oversized sweater seen from behind settling into an armchair with a book, the last shows the empty mug on the armrest as the rain stops and sun breaks through the window. Cosy slice-of-life mood, rounded panel corners, peach and sage palette. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.

A superhero comic page in the mid-century American newsstand tradition, with a printed look of visible Ben-Day dots, slightly off-register primary colours and aged paper. An original hero in a teal jumpsuit, short yellow cape and plain domino mask rescues a runaway tram: a large splash panel fills the top half as she leaps between rooftops above the city, and three smaller panels below show the tram rolling downhill, her gloved hands gripping its rear rail, and passengers cheering from the windows as it stops. Bold black outlines, dynamic foreshortening, blank chest with no emblem, two empty white speech balloons. No text, letters, numbers or sound-effect lettering anywhere in the image.

A comic page in the 1970s European science-fiction album tradition, fine pen hatching with flat washes of sand, coral and turquoise. Four panels: a tall panel on the left runs the full height of the page and shows a tiny explorer in a white pressure suit crossing a vast desert of wind-carved rock arches under two pale moons; three stacked panels on the right show the explorer's boots at the edge of a crystal canyon, a gloved hand brushing dust from a half-buried glass dome, and warm light from inside the dome reflecting on the helmet visor. Precise thin outlines, immense scale, calm and mysterious. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.

A wordless graphic-novel page painted in loose watercolour on textured cold-press paper, with soft hand-drawn pencil panel borders and no balloons. Three panels stacked vertically tell one evening at a lighthouse: a wide top panel of the tower on a rocky headland as storm clouds gather over a grey-green sea, a narrow middle panel of a keeper in a yellow raincoat climbing the spiral stairs seen from behind, and a large bottom panel of the lamp sweeping a warm gold beam across dark waves towards a small fishing boat. Wet-on-wet washes, visible pigment blooms, restrained indigo and ochre palette. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.

A page from an indie comic zine printed in two-colour risograph, fluorescent coral and deep teal on cream paper with grainy, slightly misregistered ink. Six small square panels in a loose hand-ruled grid follow a bicycle ride at dawn: a bike leaning on a wall, a hand lifting the chain off its frame, wheels rolling past shuttered shops, a long empty bridge, the rider seen from behind cresting a hill, and the sun rising over rooftops. Simple naive shapes, chunky wobbly outlines, flat overlapping colour, lots of paper showing through. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.

An instructional comic page of six equal panels in a tidy two-column grid with wide white gutters, drawn in clean vector-style line with flat colour in terracotta, leaf green and warm grey. The sequence shows how to repot a houseplant using hands only: lifting a root-bound plant from a small pot, loosening the roots with fingers, adding fresh soil to a larger terracotta pot, lowering the plant in, pressing the soil down around the stem, and watering it with a small can by a sunny window. Consistent overhead angle, the same plant and pots in every panel, a blank circle in each panel's top corner for a step number. No text, letters or numbers anywhere in the image.
