A graphic novel is a type of book wherein the narrative is conveyed through sequential art, generally in the comic book format. It encompasses anthologized, fiction and non-fiction works. Graphic novels combine images and words, and represent a form of comic where the complete story is delivered as a book rather than a periodical. The text accompanied with visual narrative provides understanding of the context and clues, which shed light on the appropriate meaning of unfamiliar terms and words. Graphic novels have shown to be helpful in the classroom as a conduit for lifelong reading, a tool for better understanding and critical literacy, and stimulation for comprehension and interest. Posthumanism refers to various theoretical constructs which primarily deviate from the conventional understanding of the human subject with respect to the natural world. It seeks to break the boundaries between the human, the animal and the technological. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around graphic novels and their portrayal of posthumanist themes. It is a resource guide for experts as well as students. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
