Frames/Panels:
Graphic novels use frames and panels to
illustrate the story. The visuals on one
page are captured in a big frame. Within
a frame, one may find few panels. The
panels are boxes that contain each of the
scenes. The panels can be arranged on
the page in a linear fashion as shown in
Figure 1 or in a non-linear fashion as
shown in Figure 2.

Gutters:
The space between the panels is called the
gutter. As readers move from panel to
panel, they have to make inferences and
draw conclusions as to what happens in the
gutterin that tiny space between each
scene. The authors use the gutters to move
along the action in scenes, to show the
passage of time, or to make changes in
locations.
