Journal Title: Записки з романо-германської філології - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the graphic prose evolution, from entertainment comics forms to thoughtful «graphic novel» form and the phenomenon of visual sequential narrative on W. Eisner‘s prose. The article discusses the comic as a self-contained art which through the use of iconic system, simultaneous and interrelated verbal and visual impact, that is why it belongs to neither literature nor painting. Thus, on the boundaries of the modified image and text appears visual arts literature, whose fiction and non-fiction texts, built on a combination of the two levels of communication – verbal and visual. The focus of analysis is placed upon the main difference between the comic book and graphic novel. The graphic novel avoided the subject, focusing on social problems and personal dramas, and most importantly, more emphasis on narrative strategies. The narrative is the core of comics that pull together the literature and it gives the right to define it as a graphic prose.
