What is a "graphic novel"?
A graphic novel is a book-length work of fiction or non-fiction that uses the format and techniques of a comic book, combining illustrations and text to tell a story. Unlike traditional comic books, which are usually released in individual parts, a graphic novel presents a complete narrative within a single volume or a series of volumes. The storytelling in graphic novels often explores complex themes and employs a range of artistic styles, making them a versatile medium for both literary and visual storytelling.
