Onomatopoeia equivalents, especially in comics?

[mungouk]

Does anyone have pointers to a list of onomatopoeia in Chinese and English, in particular as used in comics?

 

There are a few in this 2008 post and an interesting list of trans-lingual onomatopoeia in this wikipedia article (a bit short on the Mandarin stuff), but in particular I'm looking for words equivalent to beep ("di~"?), click, etc.

 

Thanks!

here's a rather comprehensive list in chinese:

this english one has individual links to comics using each of the onomatopoetic words listed:

Thanks, although I was hoping for a list of equivalents, for example 哈哈 = Haha (to use a trivial example).

 

Actually I did find a couple of things after posting yesterday:

• Fluent U: Chinese Onomatopoeia: How to Tic Toc, Snore, Giggle and More in Chinese
• Beijing Kids: Mandarin Monday: “Wang Wang” or “Woof Woof”? Chinese Onomatopoeia 101
• Reddit/r/translator: [Chinese -> English] Comic sounds

This short article is about translating Japanese manga but interesting nevertheless:
