Paul Gehl, Curator of the History of Printing Collections, discusses one of the Newberry's earliest examples of a "graphic novel." This book uses sequentual images and text to tell the story of St. John's apocalyptic visions from the Book of Revelations in the Bible--400 years before modern comics and graphic novels.
