Abstract
Graphic novels is a term often used in the global literary field, from the publishing context to the distribution and reception among a wider audience, but also academia and experts. Although it is widely used, the meaning of the term often varies and the limits between comics, graphic novels and literature do not seem to be very clear. The aim of this paper is to establish definitions and limits of these terms by using relevant academic literature, although these definitions and limits will not be clear-cut. The aim is also to demonstrate that graphic novels are undoubtedly an important part of the contemporary global literary field and it should, therefore, as such, be discussed in the Croatian academic community as well.
