Map Generator for Comic Creators & Fiction Writers

 


A map generator for Comic Creators (and fiction writers) who need to include a fantasy or sci-fi map into their stories and world-building development work. It's not as in-depth as Inkarnate, but it does the job well enough to be used as content and/or story reference. You can keep auto-generating a map until you find one that suits your ideal world needs. Then, you can adjust the names of places, terrain, map size, etc. There’s an extensive list of options to play with! You can also export and import maps created within this online program.

Note: Click the top-left arrow in the window to show/hide the Options Menu. (I wish the developer had just made a visible menu interface.)

In the Golden and Silver Ages of the Comic Industry in the USA, comic book covers often previewed what the story was about. It was a way to tease the customers and fans into buying the comic issue, as well as summarizing in just one image what is to come.
