That seems like a good rule. I'm starting to get a sense of that. Very different sort of reading experience, though of course you can always read a book very fast. But I feel like maybe...you spend more time in the book world, at least the first time around. So I guess a graphic novel gives you the option of going back...if you want to spend more time in the book world.

I'm just making stuff up here.

And I don't know much about American comics, admitedly. The only comic booksI've ever read are Archie.
