Graphic Novels Go Bigtime
Six graphic novels are the subject of the front page of this Sunday's New York Times Book Review, and receive a respectful two-page review by Nick Hornby. For long-suffering literate comics fans who are used to the stock media coverage - "Boff! Pow! Blam! Comics Go for Adult Audiences!" or "Holy Goldmine! Vintage Funnybooks Sell for Big Bucks!" - this represents a welcome and long-deserved step toward mainstream recognition of a unique and diverse artform.
