Why do authors use graphic novels?
Because a written story can be picked up and put down at the reader’s convenience, it can afford to take a route that is more circuitous than a spoken story. A graphic novel expresses a story using words and images. Here, words and pictures become inseparable–without one or the other, the reader would be lost.
