Much like everything that went on at the BBC.

# no, really. comics are shit
i'd rather read a book and use my own imagination, than look at a comic and have the product of someone else's imagination blasted at my retinas. you may as well watch eastenders

# technically correct, yes, but
they're just words on a page. how you interpret them is the important part.

a comic however, is just some pretty drawings that someone has created after interpreting the words of the writer.

# not often, no.
stephen king films, for example, are just shite. a comic book version of 'the stand' wouldn't make me soil my pants like the book did (the jersey tunnel part, anyway)

# Yes, but pictures are just as open to interpretation.
Because the narration is often missing, or highly cut back, a comic or graphic novel relies heavily on the reader putting their own interpretation on motives and emotions.

# Without the innermost motives of the character written down and set in stone, surely that gives you more room to use that imagination you were going on about.
So you don't have to imagine what the charaters or their surroundings look like, but if that's the limit of what you want to imagine then you aren't that imaginative.
