Can Comics Really Be Considered Literature?

                The topic came up in class today that if comic books can be really considered a piece of literature; at first my mind went straight to thinking negatively of this topic. I thought "How can couple words on a page and a book mostly filled with pictures be considered literature?" but as the class went on I realized through the presentation that there is way more that goes into comic books then I thought.When the breakdown was on the board about the comics and what was in  importance my thoughts on the topic has changed. I thought that due to my lack of experience with comic books, I wouldn't know the specifics about comic books and their way of them being written can have indeed have  logic.                
                  What I've realized most about the breakdown of the presentation today was that there was a lot of questions that came up about the author perspective on things and how as the reader was suppose to "read between the lines".  The differences of how the frames are lined up and were organized differently that meant something than in what the author was trying to deliver. Some things in the illustrations we as the readers should identify so we can ask ourselves what is the author's purpose of making certain things this way and why. Furthermore, I've learn to not to be so negative when it comes to topics that I am ignorant of.
