Check out The ALAN Review 36.1 (Fall 08)

See my thoughts on the graphic novel as genre vs. the graphic novel as form or medium in the latest ALAN Review. Also included: a visual literacy activity sure to help you and others see that sequential art is not a genre in and of itself, but a format that supports multiple genres. Read The Alan Review 36.1 now, and be sure to check out my article "Die a Graphic Death: Revisiting the Death of Genre with Graphic novels or 'Why won't you just die already?'" -- perhaps the longest title ever to appear in an ALAN publication! ;)
