I have a love-hate relationship with graphic novels. I love the ones that are works of art, like "The 300." But for me, many are little more than comic books (I love a good comic book--provided the drawing is great and original). Non-graphic novels allow the reader to create their own picture of the characters and their world. Many g-novels and anime are like TV-- you are a passive viewer and you can't feel you are part of the creative process.
Here is a 1935 "Graphic novel" called "Song without Words" by the famous graphic artist, Lynn Ward.
