Making AI comic adaptations of famous books

I've been turning famous books into AI-generated comic books with ChatGPT, which is great at this.

The workflow is six prompts:

  1. Plan a 30 page comic book adaptation of pride and prejudice. I want text, not an image.
  2. Create a character reference sheet for the book. Show the following characters side by side, each labeled with their name below them: [list characters from the plan]. Each character full body, neutral expression, plain warm-paper background. No panel borders. Size: 1536x1024. 
  3. Using the character reference sheet as a reference image, can you generate a batch of 10 separate images - the cover plus the first 9 pages? I want 10 images, not 1 image containing 10 pages. Size of each page: 1024x1536.
  4. Using the character reference sheet and the last few pages as style reference images, do the next batch of 10 images, page 10-19. I want 10 images, not 1 image containing 10 pages. Size of each page: 1024x1536.
  5. Using the character reference sheet and the last few pages as style reference images, do the next batch of 10 images, page 20-29. I want 10 images, not 1 image containing 10 pages. Size of each page: 1024x1536.
  6. Using the character reference sheet and the last few pages as style reference images, can you generate the final image - page 30? Size: 1024x1536.
  7. Can you put the 31 pages (not the character sheet) into a pdf?

Note the "10 separate images, not 1 image containing 10 pages" phrasing. Without it, ChatGPT can return one image with 10 panels in it.
