There's no standard version, but I have one I adapted from Steve Gerber's, after an unpublished HOWARD THE DUCK script he posted on CompuServe (!) back in the day. So here's a self-contained script for a one-shot I'm particularly proud of: MARVEL ZOMBIES HALLOWEEN. Download it, then buy the published comic here on Comixology to compare the script to the finished version. Cthulhu Tract At the 2000 SPX, Steve Ellis and I thought we'd satirize the Jack Chick-style religious comic.

The Weapon Martial arts enthusiast Tommy Zhou has invented a means to create solid objects from light -- and invented a superhero persona to promote it, The Weapon! He even concocted an origin story for himself based on ancient Chinese legends his grandfather told him. What Tommy never suspected, though, were that his grandfather's legends were real -- and now an all-too real millenia-old ninja cult is after him, convinced he's unlocked ancient mystical secrets! But he's not going to go down without a fight -- lots and lots and lots and lots of fights! Foucault's Pendulum meets Jackie Chan in this sprawling martial arts epic from me and Scott Koblish, serialized for free thanks to our friends at Drunk Duck!
