Maybe they don't want others to know they like graphic novels. Some people think it's not a very 'grown - up' form of reading.
One reason could be that the graphic novel contains some personal or private drawings or notes that the owner doesn't want others to see. Another reason might be that it has a cover that is considered inappropriate in a particular environment, such as at work or in a conservative family setting. Also, if it's a rare or valuable graphic novel, the owner may want to hide it to protect it from being damaged or stolen.
A person might want to hide a graphic novel if they are in a situation where they are not allowed to have it. For example, in a strict school dormitory where only educational books are permitted. Or perhaps they borrowed it without permission and don't want the lender to find out it's in their possession. It could also be that the content of the graphic novel is a bit controversial and they don't want to deal with any potential arguments or negative reactions from others about it.
