Graphic Novels

Graphic novels are a format of storytelling that combines text and illustrations, similar to comic books, but usually with a more complex and longer narrative structure. They often encompass a range of genres and themes, presenting stories through a sequential art format that includes panels, speech bubbles, and visual storytelling techniques. Graphic novels can tackle diverse subject matters, from fiction to non-fiction, and are often aimed at both adult and younger audiences. Unlike traditional comics, which might tell shorter, episodic stories, graphic novels typically contain a complete story arc within a single volume, allowing for deeper character development and intricate plots. They have gained recognition as a legitimate form of literature and an important medium for artistic expression.
