Graphic novels get book world’s respect and geeks – er, readers’ – satisfaction

The Cleveland Plain Dealer on Graphic novels:

“What these books have in com mon, aside from enjoying brisk sales and critical raves, is a sophistication of artwork, text and emotional content that may even appeal to adults who think they don’t like comics. Put another way, you don’t have to know the first thing about “Spider-Man” to find something to enjoy in this realm.
