Comics and graphic novels -or graphic narratives, as some prefer to call them In recent years, the emergence and spreading of the graphic novel, a format that is generally associated with "longer-length and adult-themed comics" (Baetens & Frey, 2015, p. 1) and with distribution channels (namely, bookshops) previously precluded the medium, allowed graphic narratives to enjoy a new renaissance in many areas of the globe. It also worked as a laissez-passer for comics to be recognised in areas of scholarly research that have traditionally proved reluctant towards the ninth art, such as that of literary studies. Moreover, the advent of what Manuel Castells (2004) has labelled "network society" to identify the constantly expanding influence that information technology and communication have in our daily lives has significantly widened graphic narratives' spectrum of reception, and it continues to play a pivotal role in reshaping comics' affordances. Digital, internet and social media comics are, nowadays, a reality whose complex dynamics have been studied within a flourishing sub-field of research
