Top Picks: Must-Read Graphic Novels for Every Taste

Hey readers! Today, we are going to dive into the world of graphic novels. We have some great recommendations that will keep you hooked till the end.
But before we begin, we should clear a few things first.

What are graphic novels?

Graphic novels are works of fiction or non-fiction presented in a comic book format. They combine illustrations with text to tell a story, much like traditional novels. But the focus is on visual storytelling.
Graphic novels cover various genres, including superhero stories, memoirs, fantasy, science fiction, etc.
What’s the difference between graphic novels, comic books, and manga?
Let’s tackle the difference between graphic novels and comic books first.
While they are both presented in the same format, graphic novels are not comic books. The former is usually a self-contained story and is the length of a typical novel. Each novel can be read as a standalone, even if there are sequels and prequels.
Comic books, on the other hand, are typically shorter serialized publications. They usually range from a few pages to around 30 pages in length. They are often published regularly, such as monthly or bi-monthly. This is also why, to understand the content thoroughly, readers need to keep up with almost all if not all, issues.
Coming to the difference between graphic novels and manga –
Manga is the name given to graphic novels originating from Japan. While these are the same thing, you will find differences in the culture represented and the art styles.
If you like graphic novels, manga may be right up your alley. It will provide you with something different in a familiar format. The reverse is, of course, also true.
