Recently, graphic novels have begun to become more widespread. They are even becoming accepted as something of the norm. Time magazine listed the graphic novel Watchmen on their list of "100 best novels from 1923 to present." Obviously, like novels not all graphic novels should be accepted as great literary works; however there are some graphic novels that have vast merit and grand educational value. Is it time for some graphic novels to be put alongside such classic literature as Siddhartha and Jane Eyre in the English classroom?
