What is unique, special, or different about graphic novels?
In what ways is a story told through a graphic novel different from a story told in another genre (novels, film, audio, photographs)?
Something unique about graphic novels is that there is mainly dialogues to go with pictures. It does not focus too much on the background and extra detail. It is easy to read along but is able to tell a great story. We could actually see what is happening instead of having to imagine. Graphic novels are told differently from other genres because it uses both the visual aspect and the words to tell a story. It gives us a range and it could be similar to movies, photographs and novels.
