A comic book is like any other storytelling medium: write what you know.
What are your skills in the medium of comics? Are you good at creating dialogue? are you able to put together a well constructed story? Can you draw? Are you good at composing the layout of a comic book page?
The most common way to create a comic is to come up with a story and write a synopsis, then break it down into page-by-page or even panel-by-panel outline. You can include the dialogue in the form of a script at this ppoint if you like. Then a penciller draws out the story. If you have not written the dialogue yet, you can do so after the story is drawn and fill the word baloons it. Ink can be applied to the drawings either before ofr after the letters (although if you do it after the leters you won't have to use so much ink).
Coloring is optional, but nowadays most people like to color by computer using photoshop or some other program. Reproduction can be done by a photocopy machine or you can send it to a pronting service. Comixpress has a pretty good deal, but they take a while to get it done.
After you've done all that, it's time to distribute it. Some stores will carry independent comics on a wholesale or consignment basis. Yo9u can also get a table at a convention or a flea market, and you can always try to sell it to your friends.
I have actually built a website about creating comics at http://geocities.com/watchthisspaceent/tutorial1.html

I have an awesome idea, and it is okay if you don't like it, because I'm not sure if what I'm telling you is a good idea for a comic book.
A great idea for a comic book; no matter how short or long; would be a Spider-Man/Wonder Woman comic book. That would be a super duper idea for your first comic book, and who knows? It might turn into a blockbuster movie as well.
