I'm currently making storyboard samples to be put up on my website (done this weekend). With storyboards, if you don't have a lot of projects behind your belt it's okay to board out scenes of films already made as long as you put your own spin on shots and make it clear that you did not work on the film your storyboarding from. I wanted to be a little different and board scenes from un produced scripts as well. Do you think writers here would be willing to let me board out scenes from their scripts (with their permission of course). I would also credit the author.
What bothers me though, is I worry about copyright risk for the writer. Just like I wouldn't want someone stealing my artwork, I'd hate if someone stole a writer's idea based on a visual I drew.

You might run into some copyright problems, th it would really depend on how much of a particular script you work on.
If you'd like, you can use any of my scripts:
A Can of Worms Siblings must decide whether to investigate their grandfather's mysterious past.

I think it would be cool, and I can't imagine that anyone would mind. If you find something you like, just ask the author and it's all good.
Never one to resist a good plug (though not as shameless as others, perhaps...), if you are looking for a horror, this one might lend itself to your needs, as it is pretty short and was envisioned in a "comic book" style right from the start:
