Graphic novel

Over the past couple of weeks I have read two graphic novels. Both conveying very different panels, colors, and etc. After I read both novels I then made a graphic novel of my own.

I would zoom into the character to show the emotion in there face, which could help the reader have a better understanding of how I felt. The bullies in the graphic novel body expression and facial expression were…

Comics, graphic novels and manga can tie generations together, can start a trend or a give a group of friends a place just to hang out. And the store that houses them can make a difference. Going into a mainstream store as opposed to a smaller-in the hole-comics/graphic novel store is a bit different. For instance, you really have to dig deep within the comic locator or friends of friends to find these small-tucked in the corner of nowhere-places. The mainstream bookstore that I went to was…

“Persepolis” is considered a graphic novel and it is written and drawn up by the author,Marjane Satrapi, herself. This form of writing by Marjane Satrapi does in fact enhance the understanding of the novel and the culture because the book is told from her childhood perspective and we can get a glimpse of what was her thoughts during this certain time period. Also, based on how on how the pictures were drawn one can get a certain feel for the book. In the 1980’s, Satrapi was sent to…

The graphic novel Maus is an ingenious piece of literature through its usage of illustrations along with text. The co-relation between the text and images is so steadfast that one could only look at the pictures and understand the message the author is trying to get across. There are many instances as such when we can “read” the pictures and understand the meaning, specifically page thirty-three is a great example. Page thirty-three communicates to the reader the messages of hate, oppression and…

In my comic I used three out of the five conventions of graphic novels. The three conventions I used in my bitstrip was time, lines and inference. I addressed time in my bitstrip by making some squares lager then others because more time had gone by till the next square. In my comic, lines were used to show that Hamlet was mad when he had saw…

an “unfilmable” (Van Ness 172) graphic novel: Alan Moore’s Watchmen. Moore was a firm believer in the fact that it was a story unable to be transferred over from a comic to another medium – the story was meant to stay in the medium it was designed for. The graphic novel allows for a complex, metatextual narrative structure to be employed to tell such the story of Watchmen that is filled with much ambiguity. In comparison, the theatrical cut film adaptation of Watchmen cut much of the storyline…
