Graphic novels are similar to comics but feature longer narratives, detailed artwork, and complex themes that provide a richer storytelling experience. Let’s compare a part of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in its traditional novel format and its graphic novel adaptation. You’ll clearly see how the two styles tell the same story differently. Traditional Novel Q3 How does the creator feel when the creature comes to life? narrative adaptation instrument creature horrible awful reach back and forth Graphic Novels Then, one dark night in November, I came to the end of all my work. The rain fell against the window. I put together all my instruments, so I could give life to the thing on my table. Then I saw the creature’s yellow eyes open. It breathed hard, and its arms and legs shook. How can I describe this thing I had worked so hard to make? He was very tall. I had chosen his face as beautiful. Beautiful? How wrong could I have been? His hair was black and shiny. His teeth were white and perfect. But these things made the rest of him seem even more horrible. This was what I had worked on for almost two years. I had worked for a beautiful dream of creating life. But in that moment, all beauty was gone. I was filled with horror. I ran from the workshop to my bedroom. I fell down on the bed and went to sleep. I dreamed I saw Elizabeth. She was young, healthy, and beautiful. But when I took her in my arms to kiss her, she changed. Her face looked dead. Then, for a moment, I thought I held the dead body of my mother in my arms. I woke up with a start. Then I saw IT ― the thing I had created. His yellow eyes looked straight at me. From his mouth came an awful sound. He reached toward me. I ran outside. I spent the rest of the night in the yard, walking back and forth. When morning came, I began walking through town. I had no idea where I was going. I knew I couldn’t go back to my house, where the creature was waiting. 5 25 10 30 15 35 40 20 Frankenstein by Mary Shelley 44 I Lesson 2 Visual Voices in Storytelling
