storytelling in graphic novels

Storytelling in graphic novels combines visual art and written narrative to convey a story. It uses sequential images, dialogue, and design elements like color and layout to evoke emotions, develop characters, and build plots. The visuals enhance understanding by providing context, tone, and atmosphere, making complex ideas more accessible. Unlike traditional books, graphic novels engage multiple senses simultaneously, allowing for richer storytelling. This blend of art and text creates an immersive experience that can address diverse themes, from entertainment to social commentary, and appeals to a broad audience through dynamic, visually compelling narratives.
