The art form relies on the interplay between panels, illustrations, and dialogue to guide the reader through the story, often employing techniques like framing, pacing, and visual symbolism to enhance the narrative. Sequential Art can cover a wide range of themes and styles, from superhero adventures and fantasy epics to autobiographical tales and social commentaries, making it a versatile and engaging medium for storytelling.

    Tongues is a graphic-novel retelling of the Prometheus myth set in a version of modern Central Asia.

The book reimagines ancient myth through contemporary characters and themes of suffering, connection, and consequence.
