The term is also used by creators and readers who want to differentiate their work from lighter works intended for children. It has been noted that the format appears to have taken an aura of respectability that comic books could never obtain with major book stores and public libraries carrying titles.
Often a graphic novel is a collection of individual comic books, which may or may not have been written as part of a larger story. Usually, though, the term "graphic novel" implies that a significant fraction of the product is given over to a single long-form story.

The term "graphic novel", in its current application, appears to have been coined in November 1964 by Richard Kyle in CAPA-ALPHA #2, a newsletter published by the Comic Amateur Press Alliance. The term was used in more general comics fandom in Kyle's Fantasy Illustrated #5 (Spring 1966). In 1976 the term was used by three separate works. Bloodstar by Richard Corben (adapted from a story by Robert E. Howard) used the term on its cover, and George Metzger 's Beyond Time and Again (published by Richard Kyle) was subtitled "A Graphic Novel".
