alternative to 'comics', 'graphic novel', etc.
I personally like the term "storyboarding" - but that has specialized connotations pertaining to outlining a film. But why can't we hijack film terminology for some other use?
as for it being literature or not - comics are caught in the largest net that the word "literature" can throw.
As for any deeper, more specific meaning - I find it profitable to start reasoning like this:
1) What is literacy? What is illiteracy?
2) Do you need to be literate in order to read comics? If you are illiterate, can reading comics help you become literate?
