...comic books are now referred to as Graphic Novels.
Not really - although one can make the argument that all comic books are graphic novels but not all graphic novels are comic books.

For example:

Comic book -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_book {Batman - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(comic_book) }

Graphic novel - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_novel {Persepolis - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persepolis_(comics) }

And so it goes...
