(to each their own it seems ^^)
Second link is an article about Onomatopoeia which is the 'proper name' for written out sound effects (bam, pow, slam) they differ from language to language.. so perhaps you might find a list of those you can use not created with the English language? If not. mayhaps it will give you some ideas
Personally, I've never been able to make use of its boldness, I just don't have the confidence - sound effects always seem contrived, but he does them so well - and I've virtually never seen anyone else be as good at it as he was. BUT, the points he makes are extremely good ones, worth practicing anyway, and I think the sorts of things he liked to do would work well for your piece too, because it's quiet, and the sounds are so -present- as part of the narrative. You're showing a lot, and that's great, and something he stressed too. I recommend the book highly to you!
Keep up the great work...!
(And I agree, it's easy for sound effects to seem contrived, which is one of the other reasons that I generally avoid them. I have been thinking about doing a few practice pages outside of the regular comic so that I can practice effects and lettering without worrying about it ruining a main page.)
Thank you for sharing.
