Are there differences and similarities between comics and novels?

Answer 1

Manga and novels were both literary works, but the way they were created and presented were different, so there were differences and similarities.

Similar points:

They were all literary works. They were the means by which the author expressed his thoughts, emotions, and stories.

Both required elements such as storyline, characters, and background to support the theme and meaning of the work.

3 may require the use of painting, photography and other artistic means to express the work.

The difference:

1. Forms of Creation: Comics are usually presented in the form of color comics, while novels can be in black and white, color, sound, soundless, and other forms of work.

2. Method of presentation: Comics are usually presented in the form of print or electronic publication, while novels can be presented in the form of novel collections, novels, novel magazines, novel serials, e-books, etc.

3. Narrations: Comics usually use first or third person narrations, while novels usually use different narrations such as first person, second person, third person, God's perspective, etc.

4. Character Creation: Comics usually pay more attention to the description of the character's personality, while novels pay more attention to the description of the character's psychology and fate.

The theme and meaning of comics and novels vary from work to work, but they all try to convey the thoughts and emotions that the author wants to express.
