AI-Generated Comic Strips

Abstract

Comic strips have long been a popular method of storytelling, capturing the imagination of readers of all ages and evolving into a wide range of genres today, from superhero comics to political comics. Studies show that comic strips have a significant impact on readers’ literacy, empathy, and openness to social issues. Comics have the ability to alter how to perceive the world. This research paper presents a system (ComicGenie) for automatically creating comic strips for Batman based on user-entered text descriptions. The proposed system consists of distinct components such as character detection, environment detection, text bubble generation, and voiceover over the scenario, each specializing in different aspects of comic strip creation. SVM and fastText technologies in NLP were utilized for text classification when developing models. Overall, this research contributes to the field of comic strip creation, offering a comprehensive web application. The ComicGenie holds significant potential to revolutionize the comic industry and inspire new avenues for computer- generated storytelling.
