The project is an attempt to define science fiction through a set of criteria formulated by assortment of various existing definitions and their further tweaking and restructuring. In addition it tries to classify a few existing (and widely considered) science fiction graphic novels through the guidelines formulated. The idea is to make certain guidelines for a stepwise classification of available science fiction graphic novels which helps facilitates further analysis of specific themes in such graphic novels. The project limits largely to the American comic book industry though it does touch upon briefly, the Indian and the Japanese comic book scenario.
