Tell me 3 differences between comic books and graphic novels.

See explanation ...

Explanation:

Both comic books and graphic novels use a combination of illustrations and words to tell a story. That story can be anything, whether it's fiction or non-fiction, the tale of a superhero or of a zombie apocalypse. The difference isn't so much in the content, but in the presentation.

Comic books are serialised stories; most are relatively short, and tell the story of the book's heroes and heroines over a long period of time. There are usually many, many issues of a successful comic book, and the stories unfold over months and sometimes years.

Graphic novels are longer works that tell a single story from the beginning to the end. (Sometimes, successful comic books will be collected and packaged in a graphic novel format.) Because stories don't have to be broken up over countless issues, plots can often be more complex and more detailed, as readers don't have to remember details for anywhere from months to years while reading. Manga is a type of graphic novel, a Japanese graphic novel that is read from top to bottom and right to left since that is how the Japanese language is read.
