graphic novel

n. A novel whose narrative is related through a mix of text and art, often in comic-strip form.

 

If you thought graphic novels were all about bespectacled geeks sitting hunched in a corner reading the latest Incredible Hulk/Spider-Man/Superman* comic, it's time you thought again.


These days, graphic novels are no longer the proviso of the super-nerd. Today graphic novels influence everything from fashion to film and we say it's time to embrace these books and discover what they're all about.


Here we've selected 12 graphic novels that we've enjoyed. Next time you're in your local bookstore, pick one up and have a leaf through... You might find you like it!
