Comics, Graphic novel, LiteratureAbstract
This work intends to discuss issues raised by the understanding of comic books as a literary phenomenon. At first, we sought to understand how comics approached the field of literature, considering Eisner's (1989) propositions about comic book narratives as sequential art and the popularization of the idea of graphic novel. Then we discuss, from theorists as Beaty (2012), Hatfield (2010) and Groensteen (2015), the tensions that emerge in the theoretical field, between the definition of comics as literature or visual art, and the impasses caused by the search for prestige, in addition to questions about the field of comic studies as a discipline of its own.
