Any comic/graphic novel writers?

Give them a plot line, dialogue, and a basic character description and let them have control over the rest. If it looks well done, then tell them good job and try to get it published. Only nitpick when it something that has to do with the plot. (Well, So and So always wears gloves because it is a symbol of his emotional distance from society).

Isn't that how Marvel used to do it? I remeber hearing that's how Stan the Man kept so many projects going at once; by giving a large amount of creative control to the artists.

See that's just not the way I work at all. My scripts are detailed panel for panel about just what I want. I use a lot of "camera angles" and panel layouts that I think helps the flow of the comic.
WonderandAwe:
You might have to pay someone for drawing something like that. :( I know I would have issues if some artist was like "I need you to write out dialogue for my comic." "Oh no, that's not right. The main character is very angry at them. Oh but he doesn't curse. Ever. And I want you to put in something about..." I can do it, but it would get tiring after a while.

At one point I did have an artst but I got stationed in Germany so everything down the tubes. I had to write everything in great detail for me and a few times I had to call him to explain everything.

I do illustration work but suck at plotting and storyline. Anyone wanna collaborate?
