The Graphic Novel and Comic Books

I have only read one graphic novel...and, I apologize in advance, if this does not fit the discussion (I fear it does not)...still--on the odd chance

it is "Hereville How Mirka Got Her Sword" by Barry Deutsch

I admit to not ever enjoying comics...reading the bubbles while interpreting the drawings is all to much for me, so my reaction to this was the same...made all the more painful (for me) by my massive disappointment with the story itself...one I got because it was touted as a novel about an ortodox girl who wanted to fight trolls...I do know that this thread is for the graphic novel and it's form and not to discuss the content so much of the story...suffices to say that I experienced the graphics to only further upset me as it illustrated the story line...

(sorry if I was too 'off'--feel free to delete me) Z:)
