How do graphic novels portray big criminals in an impactful way?

Sometimes it portrays them as complex individuals. It might not just label them as 'bad guys' but look into their backgrounds, like if they had a difficult childhood or were facing financial hardships that could have led to the criminal act.

Often, they show the physical transformation of the infected. For example, in zombie - themed 'infected graphic novels', the infected may have decaying flesh, pale skin, and a hunched posture. Their behavior also changes, becoming more aggressive and less rational.

Often, they show chaos. For example, in 'The Walking Dead', there are hordes of zombies everywhere, cities are in ruins, and basic infrastructure has broken down. People are constantly on the run and have to fight for resources like food and shelter.

Supernaturalist graphic novels usually portray the supernatural elements in a variety of ways. The characters themselves can be a big part of it. In 'Preacher', the main character's power is a very visible and central supernatural element. The settings also play a role. In 'Locke & Key', the house is a major source of the supernatural, and it's depicted as a place full of secrets and hidden powers. Dialogues can also be used to explain the supernatural rules, like in 'Constantine' where the character often talks about the laws of magic.

They often portray them as complex individuals. For example, in 'My Friend Dahmer', it shows Jeffrey Dahmer as a troubled teen with a lot of psychological issues that gradually led him down a dark path. The graphic novels might show their motives, like in 'From Hell' where it speculates on the motives of Jack the Ripper.

In organized crime graphic novels, the criminal underworld is depicted in a variety of ways. Take '100 Bullets' for instance. It portrays a web of criminal syndicates that are often in conflict with one another. The characters are morally ambiguous, some are in it for power, some for revenge. The art style helps to create an atmosphere of mystery and danger. The graphic novels also show how the underworld is intertwined with other aspects of society, like politics and the economy.

Often, they show the love and care. The family members are depicted as taking care of the pet's needs, like feeding and playing. For example, a child in a graphic novel might be shown cuddling with their cat.

Often, they show survivors as being tough and resourceful. For example, in 'The Walking Dead', the characters have to find food, shelter, and weapons while constantly on the lookout for zombies. They also have to deal with other groups of survivors, which can be just as dangerous.

Graphic novels might have a very limited effect. They could potentially offer new perspectives or stories that the individuals with Aspergers could relate to on some level. But it's not likely to be a major factor in changing criminal behavior as it doesn't address the root causes like social skills deficits or mental health problems.
