Photonovel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A photonovel is a novelization of a film or television episode in much the same format as comic books, but using film stills instead of artwork along with the narrative text and word balloons containing dialogue.[1] The photonovel concept was most popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s (though some are still published) before the widespread advent of home recording devices such as VCRs. Several popular films and television programs were adapted to the format.[2]
