And like novels, graphic novels employ a range of literary conventions, so they're ripe for classroom discussion.

The Horn Book | Why Do Comics Matter? - The Zena Sutherland Lecture - 0 views

  •  
    "My first theory comes from the very structure of the comics medium. Comics, by definition, are a blend of words and pictures.

  •  
    "Other school librarians who have manga collections tell me the same things: their circulation statistics are up, their students are in the library more frequently, and reading as a whole is on the rise.
