Graphic Novels Gain Popularity with American Teenagers

The Voice Of America has Another Story on how popular graphic novels have become with American teenagers. Comics and graphic novels do have their critics, who complain they\’re frivolous entertainment for small childrenand that teenagers should be encouraged to read more serious literature.

\”There\’s a lot of difference out there. And I really enjoy them, especially because so much of the text is dialogue. They\’re quick to read, and they\’re interesting the whole time, and that\’s nice because as a teenager I am busy, and it\’s nice to finish something.\”
