So, it is time to give you my opinion on what separates two very wonderful forms of literature. It can be a fun way for studying students to escape into a world less concerned with finals and essays. Yet reading one or the other is a great way to escape the heavy reading of textbooks or classic novels. Although I do enjoy a good comic now and again, I am quick to respond with a, “No, no, not comics, graphic novels,” elongating the g-r-a-p-h-i-c n-o-v-e-l-s in hopes that the listener will understand the difference - alas, they rarely do. It’s difficult to describe how frustrating it is to answer to that response. After telling people I read graphic novels, a common response is, “I didn’t know you were into comic books.” When wandering through a bookstore, it is routine for me to stop by the graphic novel section and flip through some of my favorite classics, “Sin City” and “Watchmen,” before skimming the new items.
