Graphic Novel is a term used to describe a genre of comics or visual narratives that tells a story through sequential art, usually in book form. These novels combine elements of both text and illustrations to convey plot, characterization, and emotions. They can be fictional or based on real events, and often explore complex themes such as history, politics, and social issues. Graphic Novels are popular among readers of all ages and have gained recognition as an art form in their own right.
