Graphic novels showcase two of arts' most powerful mediums. With the boundless creativity of man, who is to say that literature should only be restricted to letters and words alone? In addition, graphic novels are also becoming an effective teaching tool to students since they sustain the reader's level of interest through eye-catching images. Libraries in the United States are maintaining their graphic novel collections to encourage educational interest among children and young adults.
People are starting to consider the effectiveness of graphic novels in telling stories as more and more graphic novels are integrating into pop culture through other forms. 21st century movies Road to Perdition, Sin City, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and V for Vendetta are graphic novels adapted to the big screen. The critical successes of these movies have played a part in exposing graphic novels to the mainstream.
Avid bookworms or regular readers may have also heard of Neil Gaiman and his Sandman graphic novels. He is one of the premier writers of graphic novels at present. His Sandman series has made believers of those who doubt in the effectiveness of comic books and graphic novels as a story-telling vehicle, and is considered as one of the best examples of the literary heights a graphic novel can reach.
