The article presents a customizable generator for creating comic-style visual narratives. This generator incorporates comic-authoring idioms and transfers the conceptual principles of comics into system layers to create comic content. The generator creates comics through sequential decision-making across layers from panel composition, object positions, panel transitions, and narrative elements. It utilizes Cohn’s narrative grammar for the overall story arc and McCloud’s proposed panel transitions based on focus shifts. The generator is modular with API support for setting and modifying generator parameters by layer.
