Graphic novel [SEP] First self-proclaimed graphic novels: 1976–1978
In 1976, the term "graphic novel" appeared in print to describe three separate works. "Bloodstar" by Richard Corben (adapted from a story by Robert E. Howard) used the term to categorize itself on its dust jacket and introduction. George Metzger's "Beyond Time and Again", serialized in underground comix from 1967 to 1972, was subtitled "A Graphic Novel" on the inside title page when collected as a 48-page, black-and-white, hardcover book published by Kyle & Wheary. The digest-sized "" (1976) by Jim Steranko, designed to be sold on newsstands, used the term "graphic novel" in its introduction and "a visual novel" on its cover, although "Chandler" is more commonly considered an illustrated novel than a work of comics.
