Graphic Novel Contributions
Aug 9, 2026
Penciler, Colorist, Inker, and Letterer
These four roles should be options in the Authors & Contributions section of the edit page.
They are common roles in graphic novel publications and it would allow for better classification of how people contributed, rather than just having them all set to 'other'.
Comments
Maybe this is a separate request but can we also make it so "Illustrator" is considered a main author in the case of graphic novels?
For instance Death Note is authored by two people: Tsugumi Ohba writes the scenario, and Takeshi Obata draws. But because Obata is credited as Illustrator, he doesn't show up as the book author, when his role is just as essential as Ohba's.
We are actually working on adding this. It should be live before the year ends.
