перевод прошлогоднего интервью с Нилом Гейманом.
Разрешение на выкладывание перевода получено у журнала "Three Monkeys Online" и лично у Эндрю Лоулеса, который это самое интервью брал. Под честное слово, что без его дозволения этот текст в других местах не появится, так что просьба меня не подводить ;)

The term "graphic novel" began to be popularized two months later after it appeared on the cover of the trade paperback edition (though not the hardcover edition) of Will Eisner's groundbreaking A Contract with God, and Other Tenement Stories (Oct. 1978). This collection of short stories was a mature, complex work focusing on the lives of ordinary people in the real world, and the term "graphic novel" was intended to distinguish it from traditional comic books, with which it shared a storytelling medium. This established both a new book-publishing term and a category distinct from paperback, although Eisner cited Lynd Ward's 1930s woodcuts (see above) as an inspiration.
The critical and commercial success of A Contract with God helped to establish the term "graphic novel" in common usage, and many sources have incorrectly credited Eisner with being the first to use it. In fact, it was used as early as November 1964 by Richard Kyle in CAPA-ALPHA #2, a newsletter published by the Comic Amateur Press Alliance, and again in Kyle's Fantasy Illustrated #5 (Spring 1966).
One of the earliest contemporaneous applications of the term post-Eisner came in 1979, when Blackmark's sequel - published a year after A Contract with God though written and drawn in the early 1970s - was labeled a "graphic novel" on the cover of Marvel Comics' black-and-white comics magazine Marvel Preview #17 (Winter 1979), where Blackmark: The Mind Demons premiered - its 117-page contents intact, but its panel-layout reconfigured to fit 62 pages"

За комиксы не скажу, а вот кой-какая манга мне нравится, хотя чтением ее просмотр я все-таки не называю :)

Я могу комиксы рассматривать, особенно если это такие комиксы, как у Геймана. Там есть на что посмотреть. И тот текст, который к ним прилагается, не раздражает. И все-таки я Геймана лучше почитаю. В книге с иллюстрациями. Или без.
