Graphic Novels
Graphic novels are books that have a complex format involving narrative, dialogue, and illustrations. A graphic novel can be any length; however, the storyline is usually more developed than its predecessor: the comic book. Unlike comic books, which come in a series, a graphic novel is usually a complete story, instead of one episode in a collection. There are some graphic novel series; however, these feature different stories with the same characters, as opposed to comic books, which have a single story, broken up into several sequences. Graphic novels can be fiction, or non fiction, and the subject matter usually deals with more than superheroes, or “good guy vs. bad guy” plotlines. Many classic novels have been adapted into graphic novel form, and both authors and illustrators are rapidly exploring the freedom this new medium creates.
Almost all graphic novels in our collection have call numbers beginning with 741.5.
