Dialogues with Books, a close-knit community of book-lovers originally based out of Bengaluru, is now holding online meets for bibliophiles across cities to discuss graphic novels. Ananth Harihar, a product manager by profession and a graphic novel enthusiast for close to a decade, is hosting this online meet.

"In book clubs, people often ask what the difference between a graphic novel and comics is when both formats narrate stories using illustrations. Yes, the spectrum is wide, but not many realise that there is a line of actual control that separates comics from the world of graphic novels. We are excluding most comics from the superhero genre, but of course, exceptions have been made for certain works of the Marvel and DC universe; for instance, Watchmen," he points out.
