FG's view on Comics as a medium:

What's special about how they treat the creators of their work?

Titles: 

• A Cosplayer's Christmas
• Hip Hop Family Tree
• Outer Limits
• Castle Waiting
• Tales Designed to Thrizzle
• Beasts
• House
• Fletcher Hanks
• Bottomless Belly button
• Johnny Ryan
• Unlovable
• Love and Rockets
• Popeye
• Prince Valiant
• The Complete Crumb
• Fletcher Hanks

All of these are graphic novels/comics. The difference between a graphic novel and a comic book is that comic books are periodical whereas a graphic novel is read more like a book, from beginning to end.
