● Graphic novels are book-length comics. Sometimes they tell a single, continuous story from the first page to the last; sometimes they are collections of shorter stories or individual comic strips.

● Comics are sequential visual art, usually with text, that are often told in a series of rectangular panels Despite the name, not all comics are funny.

● Many comics and graphic novels emphasize drama, adventure, character development, striking visuals, politics, or romance over laugh-out-loud comedy.
