I wouldn't class them as literature because to me they tend to focus more on the pictures than the words. To me literature is about words and the writing.

Depends on what you read, Panda. Persepolis had art barely more than stick figures, it was all about the story.

Speaking about shameless plugs FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is this weekend (MAY 2nd I believe) so if you want free literature, visit your local comic store (and specially marked local libraries) for your free comic book. With the economy in such a slouch everyone can afford to receive free comic books.

But there are children's picture books that are considered literature. Where would Alice in Wonderland be without John Tenniel's illustrations?

For me, if the comics or graphic novels have a good storyline, develops the characters well, then I will consider it to be a form of literature.
Same for manga. |

I'm not really sure what qualifies as literature, but comic books do generally have words, so I imagine they count. I'm read comic books that have perplexed just as hard as books have. Persepolis was one about an Iranian girl except political oppression and the history of her country. Strangers in Paradise is about two female roommates, one is in love with the other but not visa versa. The Daily News was about commercial media, journalism, terrorism, and propaganda. These are topics that are not just ****** duality stories or kids books.

The Daily News was a terrific read. Ideally good literature makes you think about the world around you. I find that a good graphic novel can bring home certain subjects better with their use of strong imagery.... but the images are just icing to help deliver the message.

Agreed. I'm hearing statements that the words of a graphic novel are there to support the visual aspects. The Daily News is much the opposite. The graphics are amazing!, but it does a much better job supporting the words and giving a ground to them then standing alone. My avatar is actually the last page from issue 1.
