What are Graphic Novels?
Graphic novel is the commonly used term to refer to full-length books illustrated mostly or entirely in comics-style panels, but other terms you may hear include cartoons, comics, comic books, manga, bandes dessinees, graphic literature, graphic stories, and sequential art. Comics aren't just about Peanuts in the Sunday paper or slim issues of the latest Ultimate Spiderman; you can find graphic novels in a range of genres, artistic styles, lengths, languages, and target audiences. In Hekman's Graphic Novels collection (3rd floor), you'll find a wide selection to learn more about the art form and read for enjoyment!
