  2. Graphic novels are book-length comics. Sometimes they tell a single, continuous story from the first page to the last; sometimes they are collections of shorter stories or individual comic strips. • Comics are sequential visual art, usually with text, that are often told in a series of rectangular panels Despite the name, not all comics are funny. • Many comics and graphic novels emphasize drama, adventure, character development, striking visuals, politics, or romance over laugh-out-loud comedy.

Elements of the page • Pages consist of a variety of elements • Panels -squares or rectangles that contain a single scene • Borders/Frame - the line around the panel • Gutters -space between panels • Bleed: An image that extends to and/or beyond the edge of the page. • Dialog Balloons -contain communication between/among characters • Thought Balloons-contain a character’s thoughts • Captions -contain information about a scene or character • Sound Effects -visual sound clues i.e.. Wonk! Pow!
