2. A graphic novel is a book made up of comics content.
Although the word "novel" normally refers to long
fictional works, the term "graphic novel" is applied
broadly, and includes fiction, non-fiction, and
anthologized work. It is distinguished from the term
"comic book", which is used for comics periodicals.

Many graphic novels are the basis of films, although
some films are the basis of graphic novels, for

and was made into a stop motion 3D fantasy horror
produced Graphic novels are rarely praised. Maus,
created in 1991, by American cartoonist Art
Spiegelman was the first graphic novel to win a
Pulitzer Prize. Maus is the story based on Spiegelman
fathers’ holocaust survival experience. The story uses
postmodern techniques cross anthropomorphism to
distinguish the relationship and differences between
the Jews, who are portrayed as mice, the cats, who
are the Germans, and the non-Jewish poles, a.k.a the
pigs.
