What are some common pitfalls to avoid when adapting a short story's dialogue into comic book script format?

Common pitfalls include overly verbose dialogue (comics need concise speech bubbles), losing the character's voice in translation, and neglecting the visual impact of dialogue placement. Avoid long paragraphs of text within speech balloons. Dialogue should feel natural and serve the visual storytelling, not simply replicate the short story's text. Consider how the dialogue interacts with the artwork – a character shouting should have dynamic paneling and lettering to reflect that.
