Comic book artists tell stories through the graphic images they create. They team up with comic book writers, who create the characters, plots, and dialogues for the artists to illustrate. Some comic book artists write and illustrate the comic books themselves. Whereas cartoonists’ work is short form, either a single panel with a caption or several panels with some dialogue, the comic book artists’ work follows a narrative; they create images in sequence to align with a story.
