More or less, the term "graphic novel" is a marketing tool to help sell comic books. However, in general a graphic novel is seen as being "complete"; that is, a graphic novel has a beginning, middle, and an end (such as The Watchmen). A comic book is usually a piece in an ongoing series (like The Amazing Spider-man).

graphic novels tend to be longer than comic books. comic books often just tell one story while the novels have several chapters, often diferent stories.
