More From Ted Rall

I've no objection to the term 'graphic novel,' as long as what it is talking about is actually some sort of graphic work that could conceivably be described as a novel. my main objection to the term is that usually it means a collection of six issues of spider-man, or something that does not have the structure or any of the qualities of a novel, but is perhaps roughly the same size.

The book is almost always better than the movie. you could have no better case in point than from hell, alan moore's best graphic novel to date, brilliantly illustrated by eddie campbell. it's hard to describe just how much better the book is. it's like, "if the movie was an episode of battlestar galactica with a guest appearance by the smurfs and everyone spoke dutch, the graphic novel is citizen kane with added sex scenes and music by your favourite ten bands and everyone in the world you ever hated dies at the end." that's how much better it is.

Personally, i'd never seen a graphic novel. i knew they existed because friends of mine like jonathan ross collect them and some very literate and intelligent people really rate the graphic novel as a form.

People don't like to say comic so they say graphic novel, despite the fact that i don't think the true graphic novel has been written anywhere.

It's very bad to write a novel by act of will. i can do a book of nonfiction work that way - just sign the contract and do the book because, provided the topic has some meaning for me, i know i can do it. but a novel is different. a novel is more like falling in love. you don't say, 'i'm going to fall in love next tuesday, i'm going to begin my novel.' the novel has to come to you. it has to feel just like love.

I hate this word 'graphic novel.' it is a term publishing houses have created for the bourgeois so they wouldn't be ashamed of buying comics... i'm not a graphic novelist. i am a cartoonist and i make comics and i am very happy about it.
