Can a graphic novel do justice yo a work of classic literature, such is The Odyssey?

Is there anything that is done better in one medium than another?

Answer:

it ultimately depends on the content of the work

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphic novel may glorify the original literature, but not do the same justice as the literature may have done. For example, if someone wanted to tell the simple story of a kid who goes on a typical journey to achieve a typical purpose and meet a typical goal, that might be best depicted in the form of a movie that helps enhance these types of ideas for the viewer. However, if there was a setting of two people talking and going on and on, the best medium for this would be a play in order to illustrate dialogue through the most prestigious individuals rather than just reading them off the pages of a book.

hope this helps!!! :3
