Spectacular Sameth:
Here's another question: How do I do it? Like a movie script or what?

Kiriath:
Searches are way too much fun.

For a synopsis of a miniseries, Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns has one as a sort of afterword. It's not what you mean, but it might be useful.

On an Amazon search, there's "Panel One: Comic Book Scripts By Top Writers" which seems like what you want. Seems there's a lot of different ways!

Here's another link, he writes them like scripts:

Writing them like scripts is probably the safest thing to do. :)

Like a movie script, but a little more structured. There are some wierd rules I won't go into atm cause it's 745 in the morning, I'm still up and I can't remember em. The best resource I've seen for this was "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Graphic Novels" or something along those lines. Great sample scripts with a clear explanation of the rules, ways to demonstrate page lay out ect.

And as far as I know it's pretty hard to break into comics like that as an unknown. The best route seems to be publish something else in comic form. Any thing really, that will get you noticed. Failling that hound Marvel editors at conventions with a good portfolio.

fivestyle:
Yeah I've noticed that most people need to create there own comics to get recognized and that gets a bit difficult if your not that good at drawing

eviladam:
Well there is a great resource out there for people of various skill sets trying to break into comics. You can find pencilers, inkers letterers, colorists and writers at www.digitalwebbing.com

The down side you get a lot of replies from people who's art work is just awful and in my personal experience all the promising applicants didn't speak much english.
