I wrote a graphic novel called 'Soul Stealer' with big, beautiful, epic artwork by Chris Shy. It grew into a trilogy. ~ Michael Easton
Graphic Novel quotes by Michael Easton
I grab the gifts I've been meaning to send Max and Emmy - a copy each of the newest Monstrous Sea graphic novel compilation and a pack of Twizzlers for Max and Starburst for Emmy - and pack them up. Max lives in Canada; Emmy goes to school in California. Max's shipping is usually a killer, but whatever, I can write it off as business expense. ~ Francesca Zappia
Graphic Novel quotes by Francesca Zappia
I don't like 'graphic novel.' It's a word that publishers created for the bourgeois to read comics without feeling bad. Comics is just a way of narrating - it's just a media type. ~ Marjane Satrapi
Graphic Novel quotes by Marjane Satrapi
The book is almost always better than the movie. You could have no better case in point than FROM HELL, Alan Moore's best graphic novel to date, brilliantly illustrated by Eddie Campbell. It's hard to describe just how much better the book is.
It's like, "If the movie was an episode of Battlestar Galactica with a guest appearance by the Smurfs and everyone spoke Dutch, the graphic novel is Citizen Kane with added sex scenes and music by your favourite ten bands and everyone in the world you ever hated dies at the end."
That's how much better it is. ~ Warren Ellis
Graphic Novel quotes by Warren Ellis
If formality and courtesy take over the feelings . . . how silly and meaningless these things could become. And despite all this, I still take part in it! ~ Fumio Obata
Graphic Novel quotes by Fumio Obata
That pompous phrase (graphic novel) was thought up by some idiot in the marketing department of DC. I prefer to call them Big Expensive Comics. ~ Alan Moore
Graphic Novel quotes by Alan Moore
I think there's something to the idea that the divine dwells more easily in text than in images. Text allows for more abstract thought, more of a separation between you and the physical world, more room for you and God to meet in the middle. I find it hard enough to conceive of an infinite being. Imagine if those original scrolls came in the form of a graphic novel with pictures of the Lord? I'd never come close to communing with the divine. ~ A. J. Jacobs
Graphic Novel quotes by A. J. Jacobs
She's bewitched you! What good could she do us?"

"Well, now... We could do some good for her. ~ Mariah Marsden
Graphic Novel quotes by Mariah Marsden
Celia and I are hoping for a new start in a our thus far tortuous path to Nirvana ~ Jaime Olmos
Graphic Novel quotes by Jaime Olmos
That partially due to the world of media and commerce, the idea of a comic book has been lost in the ghetto, whereas the graphic novel is now being held up as something to aspire to and as something that's respectable for adults to read. ~ Adrian Tomine
Graphic Novel quotes by Adrian Tomine
I don't want to leave. ~ Svetlana Chmakova
Graphic Novel quotes by Svetlana Chmakova
I used to publish these stories in 32-page comics, and I would either do short stories or break the long ones up into chunks so there would be some variety inside the comic. But since then, people have been doing more and more long, standalone works, and the term 'graphic novel' has sort of become the codified term now. ~ Jim Woodring
Graphic Novel quotes by Jim Woodring
Don't say I'm lucky. Ever. ~ Faith Erin Hicks
Graphic Novel quotes by Faith Erin Hicks
For 'American Born Chinese,' my first graphic novel with First Second Books, I did mostly 'memory' research. It's fiction, but I pulled heavily from my own childhood. ~ Gene Luen Yang
Graphic Novel quotes by Gene Luen Yang
I first became an Alan Moore fan in Covent Garden on a Saturday afternoon in 1987, when I bought a copy of 'Watchmen,' his graphic novel about ageing superheroes and nuclear apocalypse. ~ Susanna Clarke
Graphic Novel quotes by Susanna Clarke
I'm sure this is a diversionary ploy. But that doesn't mean it isn't real.
-Abe Sapien ~ John Arcudi
Graphic Novel quotes by John Arcudi
I often notice how students can gain the capacity to use certain critical methodologies through engaging with very different texts - how a graphic novel about gentrification and an anthology about Hurricane Katrina and a journalistic account of war profiteering might all lead to very similar classroom conversations and critical engagement. I'm particularly interested in this when teaching law students who often resist reading interdisciplinary materials or materials they interpret as too theoretical. ~ Dean Spade
Graphic Novel quotes by Dean Spade
A man's life will not come again, once it has slipped through his teeth. And no power on earth can bring it back. This is the mortal law. Then no longer will his bones be held together by wet sinews. Then no longer the soul flutter in his mouth. But by Death's blazing light, he is ground out and spent. ~ Paul Pope
Graphic Novel quotes by Paul Pope
Would any of you like to share your career aspirations within the class? Jim?

I dunno, to be honest, I was just hoping to be able to keep the demons away... ~ Jillian Tamaki
Graphic Novel quotes by Jillian Tamaki
One way of understanding a graphic novel is that it's an ambitious comic and one way or another my comics have had ambitions. I have no problem with escapism. When I get my depressions all I want to do is escape reality. ~ Art Spiegelman
Graphic Novel quotes by Art Spiegelman
The comic book is not the book. the graphic novel is not the novel. The same, of course, is true of films and television. When we move a story from one medium to another, no matter how faithful we attempt to be, some changes are inevitable. Each medium has its own demands, own restrictions, its own way of telling a story. ~ George R R Martin
Graphic Novel quotes by George R R Martin
'Just looking at pictures' used to be considered cheating. No longer. The graphic novel is booming. Comics, heavily illustrated texts, books with no words are now accepted as reading. ~ Jon Scieszka
Graphic Novel quotes by Jon Scieszka
...She wasn't anyone special. She wasn't that brave, that clever or that strong. She was just somebody that felt cramped by the confines of her life. She was just somebody who had to get out. And she did it! She went out past Vega, out past Moulquet and Lambard! She saw places that aren't even there anymore! And do you know what she said? Her most famous quotation? "Anybody could have done it ~ Alan Moore
Graphic Novel quotes by Alan Moore
I lose patience with long stories. I get people who go, "Crumb, do some long stories, do a graphic novel." Novel-schmovel. ~ Robert Crumb
Graphic Novel quotes by Robert Crumb
You can make your superhero a psychopath, you can draw gut-splattering violence, and you can call it a "graphic novel," but comic books are still incredibly stupid. ~ Bill Watterson
Graphic Novel quotes by Bill Watterson
Playing Destroyo, who was sort of a Silence Of The Lambs type character, I'd say I was wearing about 50 pounds of rubber and foam rubber and makeup. But I had no idea who The Tick was. I'm not a big graphic-novel guy. I don't even know if The Tick was a graphic novel! ~ Kurt Fuller
Graphic Novel quotes by Kurt Fuller
By the time you figure out how the world really works, you've already lost about everything you'd hope to keep ~ Paul Pope
Graphic Novel quotes by Paul Pope
Writing from the perspective of women survivors of violence, Moore is at his most appealing; though his writing about sex and brutality can verge on the exploitative, he sometimes reveals an unexpected sympathy with dominated women. ~ Zoe Brigley
Graphic Novel quotes by Zoe Brigley
Me? I like wearing a condom. It means I'm having sex. I already spend most of my time NOT wearing one. It's like a tuxedo - I enjoy putting one on for special occasions. ~ David Mazzucchelli
Graphic Novel quotes by David Mazzucchelli
Imagination is just what others use to get things they can't understand into their heads. Rarely – if ever – do they actually fit there.
-Hermes ~ Brian Azzarello
Graphic Novel quotes by Brian Azzarello
People are so afraid to say the word 'comic'. It makes you think of a grown man with pimples, a ponytail and a big belly. Change it to 'graphic novel' and that disappears. ~ Marjane Satrapi
Graphic Novel quotes by Marjane Satrapi
They're right. We're not fighting for the people anymore, Falcon... Look at us. We're just fighting. ~ Mike Millar
Graphic Novel quotes by Mike Millar
Please read this [book] so I'll have someone to talk about it with? I'll get you cigarettes. ~ Fiona Staples
Graphic Novel quotes by Fiona Staples
Just in terms of being able to be a professional artist, but also it's nice to not have to dread introductions. "What you do for a living?" It used to be easier just to tell people that I was a magazine illustrator than try to explain that I did comics, but not the kind of comics that they were used to, and no, it's not pornography, etc. And now people even of our parents' generation are familiar with the term "graphic novel," which is kind of amazing. ~ Adrian Tomine
Graphic Novel quotes by Adrian Tomine
To me, one of the big fears of doing a big huge graphic novel is locking yourself into one style and getting halfway through it and going, 'Oh I made the wrong choice,' which is a recurring nightmare I have. ~ Adrian Tomine
Graphic Novel quotes by Adrian Tomine
Alice: I didn't know that cheshire cats grinned. In fact, I didn't know that cats could grin.
Duchess: They can, and most of 'em do. ~ Rod Espinosa
Graphic Novel quotes by Rod Espinosa
Throughout these pages, my brush weeps in sorrow for what happened in Tiananmen Square.

Not for the first time, a government was turning the guns on its people. Has the world learned nothing from history? ~ Morgan Chua
Graphic Novel quotes by Morgan Chua
Everything in life has a price; each choice we make is a transaction.
It's only with the passage of time that we realize sometimes much to our regret whether the cost was worth it. ~ David Hontiveros
Graphic Novel quotes by David Hontiveros
Long before 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid', 'Dork Diaries', and the graphic novel explosion, only a small press like Tricycle was willing to take a risk on such an innovative format. ~ Marissa Moss
Graphic Novel quotes by Marissa Moss
Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. ~ Stan Lee
Graphic Novel quotes by Stan Lee
R is for Riverdale. Relatable. Right Stuff. Ravishing. ~ Mark Waid
Graphic Novel quotes by Mark Waid
It would ha' been a good deal easier, if ye'd only been a witch. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Graphic Novel quotes by Diana Gabaldon
Considering my specialization in architecture, I'm not surprised that the first graphic novel to thoroughly engage, not to say captivate, me is Chip Kidd and Dave Taylor's 'Batman: Death by Design.' ~ Martin Filler
Graphic Novel quotes by Martin Filler
In many ways, my entire graphic novel career was a long diversion. Originally, all I wanted to do was to be an underground cartoonist and maybe bring out a groovy underground mag. ~ Alan Moore
Graphic Novel quotes by Alan Moore
I want to get to know this other me, but I don't know her well enough yet to be her all the time ~ Laura Lee Gulledge
Graphic Novel quotes by Laura Lee Gulledge
You see, Evey, all the world's a stage. And everything else ...
... is vaudeville. ~ Alan Moore
Graphic Novel quotes by Alan Moore
New Rule: Gun-control people have to stop pressuring Starbucks to ban guns. I want my gun nuts overcaffeinated, twitchy, and accident-prone. That way, the problem will take care of itself. Plus, if just one gun nut kills just one pseudo-intellectual writing a screenplay-slash-graphic-novel on his iPad, natural selection is doing its job. ~ Bill Maher
Graphic Novel quotes by Bill Maher
If I had to rank my skills, I have a long way to go before I can write a good graphic novel. ~ Ted Rall
Graphic Novel quotes by Ted Rall
After being dry for a couple a weeks, three cocktails went down quicker than a boner in a busted rubber. ~ Brian Azzarello
Graphic Novel quotes by Brian Azzarello
Julio's Day is a story of one man's life, but it's a great more than that as well. It's the story of the life of a century, also told as if a day. Beginning with Julio's birth in 1900 and ending with his death in 2000, the graphic novel touches on most of the major events that shaped the 20th century. ~ Brian Evenson
Graphic Novel quotes by Brian Evenson
There is a madness, yes, this is true. Few mortals possess it, the willingness to step away from the protection of sanity. To walk into the wild wood of madness ... ~ Neil Gaiman
Graphic Novel quotes by Neil Gaiman
Personally, I'd never seen a graphic novel. I knew they existed because friends of mine like Jonathan Ross collect them and some very literate and intelligent people really rate the graphic novel as a form. ~ Stephen Fry
Graphic Novel quotes by Stephen Fry
I couldn't let you sacrifice yourself for me."

"Its not a sacrifice. My ambition has just changed. ~ Mariah Marsden
Graphic Novel quotes by Mariah Marsden
The language in a comic book or a graphic novel and the cinematographic language are really not the same language. They are false brother and sister. It's not at all the same. ~ Marjane Satrapi
Graphic Novel quotes by Marjane Satrapi
When you hold a graphic novel in your hands, you're holding artist blood made ink. ~ Molly Crabapple
Graphic Novel quotes by Molly Crabapple
True. The school admin decided that a girls clothes were more important than her education. ~ Svetlana Chmakova
Graphic Novel quotes by Svetlana Chmakova
'Diary of a Teenage Girl' was my first American movie. It was my first movie in an American accent. It's based on a graphic novel, which was written in 2002 by someone called Phoebe Gloeckner. It was turned into a play by Marielle Heller, who then wrote it as a screenplay for Sundance Labs. ~ Bel Powley
Graphic Novel quotes by Bel Powley
I recently had my graphic novel SONORA PASS reviewed by KIRKUS.
My honest and humble opinion is that the reviewer assigned by KIRKUS should stick to reviewing PHONE BOOKS ! ~ Jaime Olmos
Graphic Novel quotes by Jaime Olmos
If you can't tell your story to another human, find another way: journal, paint, make your grief into a graphic novel with a very dark storyline. Or go out to the woods and tell the trees. It is an immense relief to be able to tell your story without someone trying to fix it. The trees will not ask, "How are you really?" and the wind doesn't care if you cry. ~ Megan Devine
Graphic Novel quotes by Megan Devine
We [Rodriguez and Frank Miller] wanted to take the movies and turn them into a graphic novel, so that people wouldn't even know what they were looking at. It's still visual storytelling, but it's approached completely different. The two mediums don't have to be separate mediums. They can be one and the same. ~ Robert Rodriguez
Graphic Novel quotes by Robert Rodriguez
When you work on a graphic novel or a film with people you've been together through a lot and you've exposed your secrets and weaker sides to each other. ~ Etgar Keret
Graphic Novel quotes by Etgar Keret
I've no objection to the term 'graphic novel,' as long as what it is talking about is actually some sort of graphic work that could conceivably be described as a novel. My main objection to the term is that usually it means a collection of six issues of Spider-Man, or something that does not have the structure or any of the qualities of a novel, but is perhaps roughly the same size. ~ Alan Moore
Graphic Novel quotes by Alan Moore
In my head, the 5 issues of A Spoon Too Short comprise one novel: a 100 page graphic novel sequel to Douglas' two Dirk books, taking some of the ideas he was working on before he died, and a whole bunch of new stuff from me and a little from Max Landis (who is the Executive Producer on the book as well as writing the forthcoming TV series). ~ Arvind Ethan David
Graphic Novel quotes by Arvind Ethan David
A draw-er doesn't draw because she loves to draw. She doesn't draw because she draws well. She draws because once she lost something. And by drawing--she will find it again. ~ Liana Finck
Graphic Novel quotes by Liana Finck
I hate this word 'graphic novel.' It is a term publishing houses have created for the bourgeois so they wouldn't be ashamed of buying comics ... I'm not a graphic novelist. I am a cartoonist and I make comics and I am very happy about it. ~ Marjane Satrapi
Graphic Novel quotes by Marjane Satrapi
Perhaps only that revenge is ultimately unsatisfying. It cant make up for the evil done to you, but it can destroy the remaining good in your life. ~ Bill Willingham
Graphic Novel quotes by Bill Willingham
I was a serious comic collector and fanboy as a kid. I wanted very badly to draw comic books for a lot of my childhood and early adolescence. So when you have an unfulfilled dream like that, when years later you find yourself in a position to make a graphic novel - hell yeah, I'm going to do that. ~ Anthony Bourdain
Graphic Novel quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Show some respect. They were your grandparents. -Batman
Just names and dusty frames on the wall to me. -Damien
I take exception to that. There is not a speck of dust collecting on those portraits. -Alfred ~ Peter J. Tomasi
Graphic Novel quotes by Peter J. Tomasi
Life has a time limit. And we are changing all the time. So are our ambitions, desires, and purposes . . . The important thing is to find something that never changes in you. ~ Fumio Obata
Graphic Novel quotes by Fumio Obata
I'm a graphic-novel guy. I can't handle the wait for monthly or bi-monthly comics; I need the story finished so I can buy the whole thing. ~ Chris Wooding
Graphic Novel quotes by Chris Wooding
I would love to collaborate on a graphic novel with an artist - I'm terrible at drawing but I really love that genre. ~ Matthea Harvey
Graphic Novel quotes by Matthea Harvey
I love print fiction, but sometimes when I'm reading a good graphic novel or manga, I find myself envying those who work in an illustrated format. ~ Jane Lindskold
Graphic Novel quotes by Jane Lindskold
I think with something like 'Watchmen' you can genuinely call that a graphic novel because it has the weight and the intent of a proper novel and it also is the complete story. ~ Dave Gibbons
Graphic Novel quotes by Dave Gibbons
I felt there was a certain amount of violence in the graphic and that it could still be cheated on screen so you could still have a hard PG-13 and open up your audience. Anybody can read the graphic novel. If you're 14, you can go out and buy it, and I felt that if you're 14 you should be able to see this movie [The Loosers]. ~ Sylvain White
Graphic Novel quotes by Sylvain White
But when I close my eyes, I'm more like THIS under the surface: I'm laughing and scheming and dreaming. ~ Laura Lee Gulledge
Graphic Novel quotes by Laura Lee Gulledge
I think the problem with the term graphic novel is it sounds pompous, it sounds pretentious, whereas on the continent, they call it an album, which to me sounds, it's got more much of a connotation of a kind of a music single and an album collection. ~ Dave Gibbons
Graphic Novel quotes by Dave Gibbons
'Luther' is absolutely a monster-of-the-week show. Although it's post-watershed and is rendered in intense graphic novel-style images, it's inspiration is not that different from 'Doctor Who' as in both cases you've got a trickster figure who fights the monster of the week and is eventually successful. ~ Neil Cross
Graphic Novel quotes by Neil Cross
Every goodbye calls for preparation, but most times, life takes us by surprise. ~ Elisabetta Gnone
Graphic Novel quotes by Elisabetta Gnone
I never wanted to make a graphic novel. As soon as you become a 'writer,' you have to be intelligent all the time ... I like the fact that I have the right once in a while to say silly things. ~ Marjane Satrapi
Graphic Novel quotes by Marjane Satrapi
To me any given story has its appropriate form. There might be some story I get involved with that's begging to be a graphic novel, so that will have to be that way. ~ Dave Eggers
Graphic Novel quotes by Dave Eggers
I think that people are really hungry for original content. I think there's a sense of reboots and remakes, and we're lacking in any sense of originality in media. So, I think the people who want something like this which has a graphic novel feel or comic book feel but that is designed and created for the medium of television, I think that is something is very appealing to a lot of people. ~ Miles Millar
Graphic Novel quotes by Miles Millar
Sqwaak!" from Fletcher, the environmental crime fighting parrot in The Big Belch graphic novel by Kay Wood. ~ Kay Wood
Graphic Novel quotes by Kay Wood
Our fine Governor called me here to ask me to talk to you
said you didn't seem too happy here. He knows we're pals. He wanted me to just
I don't know, make sure you weren't going to cause any trouble or something. ~ Robert Kirkman
Graphic Novel quotes by Robert Kirkman
When I put together a graphic novel, I don't think about literary prose. I think about storytelling. ~ Ted Rall
Graphic Novel quotes by Ted Rall
Beth, you have such great potential. Please accept this gift and foster your voice. ~ Bre Indigo
Graphic Novel quotes by Bre Indigo
Cheap! But not as cheap as your girlfriend. ~ Warren Ellis
Graphic Novel quotes by Warren Ellis
Peabody waved her PPC triumphantly. "It's the Kirk thing, The Enterprise thing. It reminded me I'd hit this name that made me snicker when I was running the van - the Cargo. Here it is. Tony Stark."
"Oh, baby." McNab blew her a double-handed kiss. "Good call."
"It's gotta be, right?" Peabody said to McNab. "It's his style."
"Who the hell is Tony Stark?" Eve demanded.
"Iron Man," Roarke told her. "Superhero, genius, innovative engineer, and billionaire playboy."
"Iron Man? You're talking about a comic book guy?"
"Graphic novel," Roarke and McNab said together. ~ J.D. Robb
Graphic Novel quotes by J.D. Robb
I firmly believe that if you can't fool all of the people all of the time you should start breeding them for stupidity. - Weisshaupt ~ Dave Sim
Graphic Novel quotes by Dave Sim
Veils of love which was only hate petrified by longing
that was me. ~ Louise Erdrich
Graphic Novel quotes by Louise Erdrich
With relatively few exceptions, the novel sacrifices too much, for me, on the altar of plot. ~ David Shields
Graphic Novel quotes by David Shields
The idea of labor, of hard work, leading to increased productivity was so novel, so radical, in the overall span of Western history that most ordinary people, most of those who labored, could scarcely believe what was happening to them. Labor had been so long thought to be the natural and inevitable consequence of necessity and poverty that most people still associated it with slavery and servitude. Therefore any possibility of oppression, any threat to the colonists' hard earned prosperity, any hint of reducing them to the povery of other nations, was especially frightening; for it seemed likely to slide them back into the traditional status of servants or slaves, into the older world where labor was merely a painful necessity and not a source of prosperity. ~ Gordon S. Wood
Graphic Novel quotes by Gordon S. Wood
What is novel is a president who wishes to maintain, while in office, a personal security force which during his campaign used force against dissenters. As ~ Timothy Snyder
Graphic Novel quotes by Timothy Snyder
Mervyn Peake is a finer poet than Edgar Allan Poe, and he is therefore able to maintain his world of fantasy brilliantly through three novels. It (Gormenghast trilogy) is a very, very great work ... a classic of our age. ~ Mervyn Peake
Graphic Novel quotes by Mervyn Peake
When we share in each other's grief and pain, we lighten it. Or maybe we just give each other permission to feel it fully and, through that act of acceptance, the grief becomes more bearable. Because, like the rain, tears too have an end. And with deep emotions, we are open to each other in unexpected ways. ~ Karpov Kinrade
Graphic Novel quotes by Karpov Kinrade
If she spoke, she would tell him the truth: she was not okay at all, but horribly empty, now that she knew what it was like to be filled. ~ Jodi Picoult
Graphic Novel quotes by Jodi Picoult
The artist constructs a new symbol with his brush. This symbol is not a recognizable form of anything which is already finished, already made, already existing in the world - it is a symbol of a new world, which is being built upon and which exists by way of people. ~ El Lissitzky
Graphic Novel quotes by El Lissitzky
There is a part of me in every character, naturally. That's why novelists rarely write good autobiographies. You start one and it becomes another novel. ~ John Dos Passos
Graphic Novel quotes by John Dos Passos
He cannot recall just when that initial feeling of oneness faded, subordinated to the everyday activities of daily living. He is disappointed to realize he can no longer expect to find her up and awaiting his return. Discard 2 ~ Lois Charles
Graphic Novel quotes by Lois Charles
Stories of all lengths and depths come from different parts of the cave. For a novel, you must lay in mental, physical and spiritual provision as for a siege or for a time of hectic explosions, while a short story is, or can be, a steady, timed flame like the lighting of a blow lamp on a building site full of dry tinder. ~ Jane Gardam
Graphic Novel quotes by Jane Gardam
A first novel should be brash and ambitious, and announce the arrival of a new talent. ~ Stuart Woods
Graphic Novel quotes by Stuart Woods
