Since the graphic novel rose to prominence half a century ago, it
has become one of the fastest growing literary/artistic genres,
generating interest from readers globally. The Cambridge Companion
to the Graphic Novel examines the evolution of comic books into
graphic novels and the distinct development of this art form both
in America and around the world. This Companion also explores the
diverse subgenres often associated with it, such as journalism,
fiction, historical fiction, autobiography, biography, science
fiction and fantasy. Leading scholars offer insights into graphic
novel adaptations of prose works and the adaptation of graphic
novels to films; analyses of outstanding graphic novels, like Maus
and The Walking Man; an overview which distinguishes the
international graphic novel from its American counterpart; and
analyses of how the form works and what it teaches, making this
book a key resource for scholars, graduate students and
undergraduate students alike.
