graphic novel adaptation

A graphic novel adaptation transforms a story from one format—such as a book, play, or film—into a visually driven comic-style format. It combines illustrations, speech bubbles, and text to convey the narrative, characters, and themes. This approach allows the story to be experienced in a more visually engaging way, often highlighting key moments and emotions through artwork. Adaptations can preserve the original's essence while offering a fresh, artistic perspective. They are popular for making complex stories more accessible and immersive, blending visual storytelling with traditional narrative techniques.
