Now graphic novels are taking on their own legitimacy from Superman to Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tale's series. Graphic novels are a great tool to teach complicated subjects, such as World War I (Nathan Hale's Treaties, Trenches, Mud and Blood). They also deal with higher level thinking skills like crisis resolution, problem solving, internal conflict and life lessons (Seconds). Even the "fun" comics like Batman Li'l Gotham, which is compromised of various short stories that often start out with a good vs evil them but ends with a twist., the story stays with you and you wonder what you would do if you were in the same situation as the "bad" guy.
