How does the process of creation, particularly paneling and lettering, differ between manga and comics?

Manga creators often work solo or with a small team of assistants, handling all aspects from script to art. Panel layouts are crucial for pacing and visual storytelling. Lettering is typically integrated into the artwork from the beginning. In Western comics, creation often involves a writer, penciler, inker, colorist, and letterer, with distinct roles. Panel layouts can be more conventional, and lettering is usually a separate process applied after the art is finalized.
