Unlike print-only books, graphic novels both show and tell a
story, and experts think this helps explain their appeal. Images
of the setting convey the mood in a scene. Images of
characters' dynamic body language and facial expressions
support the rich dialogue. Readers take a broader view of the
page. They read dialogue and descriptions in storyboard-type
cells and actually watch the story unfold as they read.
