graphic novel film
Illustrated-story movie
A graphic novel film is a movie adapted from a graphic novel—a book-length comic with a unified narrative.
The term distinguishes these adaptations from traditional superhero comics: Sin City, Persepolis, and V for Vendetta are graphic novel films.
The source material often influences visual style, with filmmakers recreating panel compositions and color palettes from the original work.
