Answer:Graphic novels are a form of literature, yes. Time magazine's list of 100 best novels, compiled in 2005, includes 10 graphic novels. Your question is about weather graphic novels are a form of literature, and yes, they are a form of literature. But literature in the truest sense refers to written work. Graphic novels are sequential art mixed with writing, so graphic novels are a fusion of art and literature. They tell stories, but they use words and pictures. Any college course on literature is going to focus on written works, and an English language department may have a separate course on graphic novels. Art schools may also have a focus on graphic novels as an art form.Now, just because graphic novels aren't %100 words and therefore not a pure literary form doesn't make them any less serious or relevant. They're just a different art form. Sure, literature gets a lot of prestige, but not all prose is literature. There's a lot of bad trash romance out there that's prose, but not good literature. On the same note, there are a lot of extremely good graphic novels out there that are as respected as the best literature written. And there are some very low-grade comic books and graphic novels.Graphic novels are a form of literature, but they don't have the same level of prestige as other literary forms. That's a constant struggle and dialog, as graphic novels try to make their way into mainstream literature. Overall, in America, graphic novels and comic books aren't as revered and respected as written works, mostly due to the negative influence of Disney and the superhero comic books. In Europe and Asia, I'd say that line art and sequential art get more respect than they do there. In Japan for example, the population sees animation, line art and sequential art as a form of expression for all ages. In America, there's used to be a bit of a stigma upon comic book art and animation. The general thinking in America was that comic books are for kids, but that has changed due to work like Watchmen, Maus, and dozens of other graphic novels that have made their way into literary circles. Colleges and universities do teach courses on graphic novels.
