Consider it Literature

Literature is a writing in which expression or forms are shown through the use of words in different ways such as through novels, drams and poetry. Literature could be objective or subjective, objective in this case is something that text wants to attain and subjective will be pertaining to or the characteristics of an individual.
Allan Moore's novel "Light of thy Countenance" is definitely considered as literature even though its short and graphic. Shortness of the text never depicts whether it should be considered as literature, rather it's the depth of the text that made it fall in this category. This novel is not that simple fun comic book about TV instead it shows the reader how far television has gone today. Alan Moore's uses various time frames through which TV went and how does it became so much important part of our life that we are spending more time with it then with our loved one's. Basically Moore's is trying to say that TV has become god to us that we always follow and believe what we see on it. Pictures in this novel tells about it more than the actual text because it shows where does it had more effect. As the novel progress reader's see how impact of TV is increasing and also instead of telling us in a text that to show different time frames where TV went through various changes Moore's actually extensively used images such as during world wars it was actually used little so author used bombs pictures and during the ears of 1920's when companies used it for advertising we actually get images of actors doing adds on TV. I think this novel has everything that text needs to consider as literature it has deep meaning to it which reader gets from both the text and images. Moore's used personification by giving TV human characteristics in this novel which is great way to show how it is effecting our relationship especially some people's private life.
Moore's novel is showing the impact of the technology in our lives like RUR by Carl Kapek in which people let robots be the major part of their life but later robots were the one's who destroyed the human race. It's not like TV's going to destroy us but it surely promote some harmful ideas. So this novel actually teach people about the technology which I think already passed it as a literary merit novel.
