Hereof, how do graphic novels show time?
In comics, time can be communicated to readers through the content of the panels, the number and shape of panels as well as the use of closure between panels. Thus the panel border guides readers sense of time and space.
Additionally, how long does it take to read a comic issue? The majority of the comics in the sample took me less than ten minutes to read, with the median reading average about seven minutes. I also find it interesting that the letter pages seem to add about two minutes to my comic book reading experience.
Similarly one may ask, how do you show action in comics?
Action-to-action transitions show a single subject progressing through a specific movement. Subject-to-subject transitions stays within a specific scene or idea and call for more reader involvement. Scene-to-scene transitions take place across significant distances within time and space.
