A graphic novel is a type of comic book usually with a long and complex storyline similar to those of novels. The term also encompasses comic short story anthologies, and in some cases bound collections of previously published comic book series.

Graphic novels are often published in a better format than the comic magazines, using the same materials and methods as printed books, and are generally sold in bookstores and specialty comic book shops rather than at newsstands.

CHEW

 

Chew is an American comic book series about a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agent, Tony Chu, who solves crimes by receiving psychic impressions from food, including people. 

It is written by John Layman with art by Rob Guillory and published by Image Comics. 

The series has won two Eisner Awards and two Harvey Awards.

Chew's first issue was released in June 2009, and the series concluded with its 60th issue in November 2016.

In 2020, two follow-up projects were released - a three-issue crossover with Outer Darkness (another comic series written by Layman), and the beginning of a spinoff series titled Chu.
