yes, comic books/graphic novels are literature imlad Send a noteboard - 02/03/2010 03:28:58 AM
As are works in magazines (typically short stories) and newspapers, when NOT non-fiction.

As long as there are written words involved in telling the story, then yes (however I am not counting subtitles or closed captioning for movies or TV, thats pushing it too far IMNSHO).

I personally do not think video games will ever be thought of as literature. Just like movies are not literature. What about comic books and graphic novels? Are they literature? And I'm excitedly waiting for my copy of Jim Butcher's Welcome to the Jungle graphic novel. Harry looks so dashing!


Are Magazines literature?

Short Stories?

Newspapers?

Other?
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
