“The term “graphic novel,” coined in the late 1970s, now denotes a profitable industry. It is probably not going anywhere anytime soon, and were “graphic” merely a generic designation, like “romance,” or “Western,” I’m not so sure I’d care. As it has come to be used, however, “graphic novel” places Alan Moore in direct competition with Toni Morrison, and this does neither of them any favours.”
