Comment on How is anime and manga more popular than comics and western cartoons?
vonbaronhans@midwest.social 2 months agoI dunno “comics” in the US are still mostly superhero stuff. Once you get into the non-superhero stuff it generally gets referred to as “graphic novels”. Maybe that term is used only to separate it from the superhero image, or it may have to do with syndication and release schedules? I’m not entirely sure.

A graphic novel is a comic in longer form. Something like Persepolis that was released in one volume vs something like Watchmen that was released as normal comic books.
