“A Game of Thrones #1 was everything I could ever want in an adaptation…and more.” – Geeks of Doom
“The art is wonderful to look at with all the detail contained in each panel, and I’m willing to give this series more of my time. I think fans of the book and television series will enjoy this condensed read.” – Major Spoilers
“If you are a fan of the novel, this will be a fun graphic adaptation with nice line-work.” – Weekly Comic Book Review
“With so much excitement to come in the series, now is a perfect time to pick up A Game of Thrones.” – Broken Frontier
Ah good, now I can have the same story with some minor changes.
Funny, I thought this was a comic book. I know it’s silly, but it still bugs me when people call serialized comics collections “graphic novels.” It’s like if a season of a television show suddenly was referred to as a “movie” when it gets released on DVD”

Your analogy doesn’t work at all.
comic book : graphic novel
tv season : movie
Should comic strip fans be perturbed by the term “comic book”?

I drew the crow, and Tommy the pencil illustration.
comics don’t credit designers.
