Quote:By calling them graphic novels someone is trying to convince us that they are "literature".

 

If you consider any written story literature, then of course they are. To me, they are still comics. Is Batman literature? Archie?


We were specifically talking about graphic novels. Ones like The Killing Joke, which are longer than a typical comic. I don't really know where I stand on it.


Is 50 Shades of Grey literature? There's a distinction obviously between types of literature. But it is a former of literature? Maybe it is.
