Adding graphic novels to the list raises a question. "Novels" are fiction. Is it the "graphic" part that makes them "nonfiction"?
Because many of the graphic books coming out these days are not fiction, I've decided to use the term "graphic narratives" for both fiction and nonfiction. That would make them fit into this category.
