#ScribesAndMakers 6: Graphic novel: Art or words importance?
As many have said, you need both. But I'm going to buck the trend and lean on the words. Two reasons:
-Between something pretty but ultimately empty, and something meaningful that's blandly conveyed, I'd go with the second. Think xkcd. Art will elevate, but for me isn't the foundation.
-Picking the right words to both convey things and fit in the darn word balloons is non-trivial.
Granted, my art is weak, I may be biased, YMMV.
