wikipedia: "A comic book is a magazine or book containing the sequential art in the form of a narrative. Comic books are often called comics for short. Although the term implies otherwise, the subject matter in comic books is not necessarily humorous, and in fact its dramatic seriousness varies widely"
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

I have never read it but if it's content is that good then it deserves to be on the list no matter what format it is in.

How could Atlas Shrugged or Fountainhead not be on this list? Baffling.

from Wikipedia as well:
In the early to mid-21st century, greater acceptance of the comics form among the general reading populace coincided with a greater usage of the term graphic novel, often meant to differentiate a book of comics with a spine from its stapled, pamphlet form, but the difference between the terms seems fuzzy at best as comics become more widespread in libraries, mainstream bookstores and other places.
in other words...more sophisticated content and a higher page count in a spine bookform.
Maus, Akira, Stray Toasters, Watchmen, Marshal Law, Ghost World, Sin City, Best of American Splendor all graphic novels. All award winning pieces of some sort, or made into a movie. Maus won the Pullitzer Prize.

i actually love that series more than Watchmen.
thought it would have been a terrific movie with Nick Nolte ((before he got drug-addled))
