So, why a graphic novel?

Many of you have wondered, why do a graphic novel?  Why not write a novel?  Or a movie script?

Well, I’m a visual artist, that’s why.

And this is how I need to tell this story.   And perhaps it will lead to dialogue, to new investigations and answers.

This is the story as I see it.  This is how I want to present my case to the world.   Maybe it’s the only way I can.

Through the visual.

New facts have a way of trickling out, confirming or challenging prior understandings.  And as they accrete, as they start to add up, sometimes anomalosuly, new possibilities present themselves.  The time arrives for an updated picture, a revision of past attempts at meaning making.  Not all revisions are revolutionary, but in the best instances, they add a few more form-creating pieces to the overall jigsaw, the life’s gestalt.

– from An Emergency in Slow Motion- the inner life of Diane Arbus, by William Todd Schultz

While words are a vital component, the major dependence for a description and narration is on universally understood images, crafted with the intention of imitating or exaggerating reality.

– from Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative, by Will Esiner
