While many comics were and still are produced, either on an industrial scale, or without great pretension to perpetuate, they coexist today with other types of initiative. In opposition to the current arrangements that involve what is usually called literary, comics, in their own way, have been reinvented by their increased displacement to book format, especially on longer narratives aiming adult audience. This dissertation takes as an object of discussion two graphic novels: Cachalote e Campo em Branco. As a result of partnerships between writer and cartoonist, they were produced by RT Features and edited by the label Quadrinhos na Cia. from Companhia das Letras. Starting from the analysis of specificity in production as well as in creation of these works, it is sought to understand the emergence of new shadings in the relations between the verbal and the visual, so much for in the links between the literary, editorial and media. In addition, we discuss of which terminologies are more suitable to these objects and in which way they may or may not allude to long-established issues of hierarchy among cultural products. In the midst of the digital era, marked by the omnipresence of images, we also wonder about what sense it grasps within the gesture of opting for narratives, that call upon manual and authorship trace. Furthermore, we investigate the horizontal dynamics of shared creation and the authors combined effort to avoid the simply-repeated success of previous generations, either in the field of literature, or in the field of graphic genres. Finally, there is an effort in the way the authors bring to new limits the natural dialogue between these two languages.
