Story boards are used to help visualize what you''re creating. Basically, they''re single images of points in the story with captions, like a picture book. They''re useful for seeing the whole story in front of you. It''s also useful to be able to add notes in certain sections, programming notes, story notes, whatever.

So yes, it''s kind of like a comic book but all layed out on a board/wall.

Storyboards can be useful for many visual aspects of your game. Storyboards are sketched pictures in a sequence akin to a comic book that depict a scene. For example you might have have a storyboard depicting a complex combat move or how a character walks.
In movies storyboards are used for planning the scenes from how the camera should move, where people are and there is often text below which is either a note. Eg. Helicopter effects fade in slowly or it could be a line of dialouge. Eg. Neo: Can you fly that thing?

I hope this answer your question but for complete understanding take a look at these boards not done by me - I can''t draw.
