Illustrated prose novels I guess? Typicall for children but I've seen plenty of adult-oriented ones.

On the more comic-leaning front I've got a Dark Forces "graphic novel" that alternates between full pages of text and full-page illustrations.

was planning on doing something too wordy for a comic and too pictorial for a book.
that's why I posted an anime magazine.

Some pulp magazines had accompanying illustrations, but weren't really too heavy on that.

Jim Steranko's "Chandler - Red Tide" is probably the closest to what you're looking for.

I guess Lore by Ashley Wood and TP Louise. It switches back and forth between illustrated novel and traditional comic as the story progresses.

There are illustrated novels, although those tend to mostly be children's books. Light novels out of Japan will occasionally throw in a splash page of art featuring the scene, and sometimes you'll get something similar it (generally young adult) novels, but that's probably a bit less than what you are looking for.

>comics that are too wordy
Most modern superhero comics?

>anything that is more mature?
Not really. Most of the time, the illustration is there for people who would have difficulty understanding the scene - i.e. small children. Plus, a child's book is considerably smaller. It is going to be easier to illustrate every page of a 20-page book than a 600-page novel, after all.

watchmen comes to mind, with those articles an' supplementals

“Death Strikes at Midnight and Three” by Denny O'Neil and Marshall Rogers may be what you're looking for.

Several decades later, Grant Morrison and John Van Fleet would homage it with "The Clown at Midnight", another prose-comic book hybrid.

I'd say the closest thing would be an illustrated pulp magazines. Some Japanese lite novels do that too if you're into anime.

There's a Man-Thing story like this called Several Meaningless Deaths. I guess it used to be a thing where if a comic had so many pages of prose it was classified differently, probably cheaper to publish or something, so they would have them pretty often. Stan Lee's first work was a Captain America prose story published in the third issue.

Hope for the Flowers by Trina Paulus is a God-Tier example of what you're looking for, probably the best to come out of the US

Cerebus and Thieves and Kings can be extremely wordy.

>>88578794
The works of Jacques Martin
They are way too wordy.

But I love them all
