CREATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL GENRE
• Will Eisner receives credit for publishing the first graphic novel “A Contract with God” in 1978.
• Eisner claims to have created the phrase “graphic novel” as a spontaneous marketing term used to convince his publisher to print his work. However, the term is said to have been used by comic fans in the 1960s.
• Art Spiegelman receives the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for “Maus: A Survivor’s Tale” about his father’s struggle to survive the Holocaust.
• “Road to Perdition” - possibly best known graphic novel for Western audiences - published in 1998and eventually made into major motion picture.
