Slide 3 - Open question

A graphic novel is a story that is presented in comic-strip format and published as a book.

The term ‘graphic novel’ has been in use since the 1960s, though books written in this format did not appear often until the early 1980s. Longer than a short story and more literary than a comic book, the graphic novel uses high quality graphics with text to tell a complete story. Many graphic novels are collections of stories previously published as separate comic books.
