Sound Words

How to Use Sound Words for Dialogue Writing in Comics?

If a character falls in a comic book, does it make a sound? Though Comics are a visual medium, sound is a major part of it. Sounds make it symbolic without writing much.

The louder the sound, the bigger the word. If the letters are repeated, it indicates the duration. The colour, weight and shape of the letters indicate characteristics of whatever is making the noise. A sound might suggest the severity or an impact. Sound effects are loaded with more information than mere dialogue.
