| | SFReader.com : Suspended Animation Comics Review, by Michael Vance |
 | | The Rise of the Graphic Novel is an essay on the short history of the graphic novel and the relatively long history of comic strips and books, the grandparent and parent of author Stephen Weiner's subject. |
| | But, in his defense, the definitions of the much older short story, novel, comic strip and comic book were only recently codified. |
| | It's equally true that a single story told in a single volume adds nuances to comics that are difficult or impossible to achieve in a daily comic strip. |
