The term "graphic novel" was first coined in
1964, mainly to distinguish the newly translated
works from Europe from what was perceived as the more juvenile subject matter that was
published
in the United States.
Graphic novels are books, typically squarebound and
published with a card cover, containing no advertswhen a publisher collecting previously serialised
stories,
They generally collect a single story, which has been broken
into a number of chapters previously serialised in comic books,
with the issues collectively known as a story arc.
In the United States, when a publisher collects previously
serialised stories, such a collection is commonly referred to as
either a trade paperback or as a graphic novel.
The current usage of the term graphic novel implies a
difference from that of a comic book in that most graphic novels
reflect a more sophisticated level of artistry, storyline, or
completeness, that run through a complete story arc from
beginning to end, unlike many compilation books, which are
simple collections of a comic series.
Newspaper strips also get collected, both in Europe and in the
United States, and these are sometimes
also referred to as
graphic novels.
