Graphic Novels and Creativity


  • Graphic Novels hold a special appeal for highly gifted students. Several studies show that fantasy and science fiction are the favorite genres of recreational reading for gifted children and teens. Gifted readers are especially captivated by the believable details of well-crafted imaginary worlds.

  • Most teen and pre-teen Graphic Novel fans have tried their hand at writing and/or drawing their own comics.

  • Numerous novelists, screenwriters, directors, illustrators, actors, and other creative talents admit to being avid Graphic Novel readers as children, and a surprising number continue to read them as adults.
