Subsequently,based on the Uses and Gratifications Approach,it introduces how to assess the value potential of text-based comic book publications from three dimensions : functionality,emotionality,and sociability. Furthermore,employing the classic Lasswell’ s 5W Communication Model from communication studies,this paper briefly analyzes the communication pathways of text-based comic books considering five aspects : who,says what,in which channel,to whom,with what effect offering suggestions on how text-based books can effectively be transformed into comic versions.
