Introduction to Image-Text Dynamics in Graphic Novels
In the shadowed alleys of the city, the protagonist's figure was silhouetted against flickering neon lights, capturing a moment of tense anticipation. The dialogue bubbles hovered above, their jagged edges reflecting the urgency of the conversation. The interplay between the vivid visuals and the sparse dialogue created a layered narrative that beckoned the reader to infer unspoken emotions. The artist’s skillful use of colour palettes and panel layouts heightened the atmospheric tension, guiding the reader’s focus and emotional response. Each image was meticulously crafted to convey mood, while the accompanying text provided context, creating a symbiotic relationship that enriched the storytelling. This fusion of image and text exemplifies the unique narrative technique at the heart of graphic novels, where visual cues and linguistic elements work in tandem to deepen reader engagement.

The artist’s choice of contrasting colours between the shadowed alley and the neon signs highlights the dichotomy between danger and allure.
