Abstract
ABSTRACT A paucity of research has focused on the peritextual elements of graphic novels. The functions and examples of the Peritextual Literacy Framework (PLF) were used to analyze Dav Pilkey’s 10 Dog Man graphic novels. Some of the findings from the content analysis of the books include the following: although all six functions of the PLF are realized in the graphic novels, considerable difference exists with respect to the presence of peritextual elements associated with each function; some peritextual elements fulfill multiple functions; and the back matter in the Dog Man graphic novels is used extensively to fulfill diverse purposes.
