USING GRAPHIC NOVELS:

Popular Culture and Social Studies Interact

Graphic novels represent a signiﬁ cant segment of the literary market

for adolescents and young adults. These stories may resemble comic

books, but on closer inspection, they often address controversial issues

using complex story lines. Some graphic novels that are well known to

Western audiences are Watchmen, which examines how superheroes live

in a society that has turned against them; Maus, which uses anthropo-

morphic characters to tell the story of a Holocaust survivor; From Hell,

which presents one explanation for the actions of the historical serial killer

Jack the Ripper; and Road to Perdition, which was made into a popular

motion picture.

What Are Graphic Novels?

Graphic novels, as they are known in Western countries, were initially

inspired by Japanese manga (comics) and anime (animation). Anime style

is most commonly recognizable in its use of large-eyed characters with

oversized heads, and it has increasingly been recognized by Western

audiences as a distinct art form.

Use of the manga genre in Japan is far more widespread than in West-

ern countries and dates back to the early part of the twentieth century.

Japanese manga, rendered in black and white and printed on newsprint,

are read by children and adults and include many topics, although sci-

ence ﬁ ction mechas (robots) dominate the ﬁ eld. The topics of these works

are surprisingly similar to Western young adult ﬁ ction. A large portion of

the market is shojo, comic books designed to appeal to girls. A popular

shojo character that appears in America is the Sailor Moon series, featur-

ing a resourceful Japanese schoolgirl. Shonen manga is designed primar-

ily for boys and usually consists of action stories. Teachers may recognize

elements of shonen manga in Japanese game cards collected and traded
