Travel Books and Graphic Novels: ‘A Natural Fit’

Travel Blog  •  Eva Holland  •  07.10.09 | 12:37 PM ET

Whether in Burma, Naples or beyond, we’re fans of travel stories told in pictures—so it’s nice to see the travel book-as-graphic novel genre getting some love in this round-up from Perceptive Travel. Marie Javins writes: “Travel stories are charged with creating an atmosphere, their text inspiring imaginary visuals of foreign lands in the minds of the reader. Graphic novels are a natural fit.” Agreed.
