Jimmy Corrigan The Smartest Kid On Earth is a graphic novel. It is visually stunning with simply drawn characters juxtaposed with highly detailed backgrounds, compared with other comics which use more character based drawings. In some other comics the charcaters are the more fantastical elements with their super powers whereas Jimmy Corrigan is a normal person.
The colours used are pale and tend to be blocks of colour rather than shading, this adds a dull element to the storyline about the everyday and patheticness of Jimmy Corrigan.
In places a traditional comic book layout is used with squares and panels showing each scene. However this is not always the case as full page pictures are also used.
The book uses these illustrations rather than text to tell its story.
