Can you explain the process of breaking down a script for a comic book, and why it's important?

Script breakdown involves taking a written script and planning each panel, its visual content, and dialogue. It's crucial for collaboration with the artist, providing a roadmap for the visuals. The writer often specifies panel size, character actions, background details, and balloon placement in the breakdown. This ensures a clear understanding between writer and artist, leading to a cohesive and visually compelling comic.
