Anotations

Scope note:

Comics in book form, which generally consist of an extended story with sequential art. The term is not strictly defined, as graphic novels can be collections of comics previously published as serials, or works that were created specifically for book form. The term is also used more broadly to refer to collections or anthologies of comics published in book form.
