      abstract = {"Since the graphic novel rose to prominence half a century  ago, it has become one of the fastest growing  literary/artistic genres, generating interest from readers  globally. The Cambridge Companion to the Graphic Novel  examines the evolution of comic books into graphic novels  and the distinct development of this art form both in  America and around the world. This Companion also explores  the diverse subgenres often associated with it, such as  journalism, fiction, historical fiction, autobiography,  biography, science fiction and fantasy. Leading scholars  offer insights into graphic novel adaptations of prose  works and the adaptation of graphic novels to films;  analyses of outstanding graphic novels, like Maus and The  Walking Man; an overview which distinguishes the  international graphic novel from its American counterpart;  and analyses of how the form works and what it teaches." --  Provided by the publisher.},
