Definition: A "panel" in a comic book in one part of a comic book page. Typically a comic book page is made up of individual panels that, when put together, tell a story in a sequential order.
One way to look at a panel is that it is like a scene in a movie or television show. The comic panel would be the most important part of the scene to convey the most information visually. Text in the form of word balloons and narration are used to complete the tale.
A common number for panels for a comic book page is five to six.
Pronunciation: pan-l
Examples:
The panel shows two superheroes engaged in battle.
