  • This field includes writer, plotter, scripter, adapter, translator and any similar functions. Include a note if it is other than a plot and script contribution.
  • For Cover sequences:
    When the cover includes scripted material that would otherwise qualify for indexing as a comics story or cartoon if it was not located on the cover, credit the scripter of such sequence if known or designate by a question mark if unknown.
