Graphic Novel
The graphic Gothic novel brings an intensity to the novel that is not seen in the traditional Gothic novel. In Niel Gaiman Sandman the visual panels pull you deeper into the story by giving you Gaiman's idea of what is creepy or not so creepy. Like in "Imperfect Host" he showed the gargoyles as sweet little household pets, the one could have been a Great Dane and the other any sweet little puppy, but not the creepy or scary gargoyles that sit atop buildings, ironic right?

I agree with your point that the gargoyles are ironic in "The Sandman" but I would add that the graphic novel makes the horrors described much more personal due to the visuals.
