The process is about the same. You submit your scripts to publishers and if they purchase it then they hire artists to produce the sequential art.
generally speaking indie publishers are more likely to use your stuff than main stream publishers until you get a reputation and resume built of COMPLETED projects. There are thousands of supposed script writers (and artists) who cannot get a project to completion.
It is very very similar to writing screenplays.
Generally a good comic scripter has enough artistic talent that he can produce a basic storyboard in addition to his script. This is not neccessary but it really helps the bridge between the text and the graphic.

"Sequential Art" by Will Eisner.

When you e-mail to get their guidelines, this is what it says about comic scripts:
quote:
Author Submissions: We're looking for stories that can be adapted to comic format, in the tradition of Warren's Creepy and Eerie, Marvel and DC anthologies like The Witching Hour and Ghosts, and the EC's legendary Tales From the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. We are also in need of short prose stories, up to 1,000 words. Again, prose stories should have the pulp horror feel. What we don't want: anything modern or that doesn't fit the concepts described above. Query at address above with description of story and a short sample, or, if you prefer, the script. The ideal script will run no longer than 8 pages. Also include a bibliography. Samples cannot be returned without SASE.
