Comic books are a no-brainer

Ah, the comic book. The bastard medium. The medium that isn't even described as a medium, but as an all-encompassing genre.
I remember reading a quote somewhere by writer Neil Gaiman that said something like (I may be mixing up writers if my memory serves me wrong): a work of art entirely written such as literature or entirely visual such as painting, can have a potential for artistic genius. However, when you put the two things together (words and images - essentially comic books) the work somehow degrades itself to an inferior level, no matter what merit that work may have.
