In my BA thesis, I discuss the graphic novel and its ability to tell a story through illustration. After defining the concept of illustration and including a graphic novel in its field, I listed and explained the elements of book page design. In the comparative analysis, I list interesting and relevant graphic novels and animation, with the help of which I come to various insights in solving the problem of storytelling. By defining the concept of the script, its theories of structures, and elements of stories, I create the basis for my work. I provide an additional overview of the definition of symbols, symbolism, and the symbol of death to further understand the content of the graphic novel. In the practical part of the thesis, I explain the psychological and symbolic background of my stories, their visual design, and the book design.
