Graphic novels in the context of Posy Simmonds

Rosemary Elizabeth "Posy" Simmonds MBE, FRSL (born 9 August 1945) is a British newspaper cartoonist, and writer and illustrator of both children's books and graphic novels. She is best known for her long association with The Guardian, for which she drew the series Gemma Bovery (2000) and Tamara Drewe (2005–06), both later published as books. Her style gently satirises the English middle classes and in particular those of a literary bent. Both Gemma Bovery and Tamara Drew feature a "doomed heroine", much in the style of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century gothic romantic novel, to which they often allude, but with an ironic, modernist slant.

Graphic novels in the context of Carrie Kelley

Caroline Keene "Carrie" Kelley is a superheroine from Frank Miller's Dark Knight trilogy of Batman graphic novels (1986-2017). She becomes the new Robin in The Dark Knight Returns (1986) when she saves Batman's life. Later in The Dark Knight Strikes Again (2001–2002), she adopts the identity Catgirl, and in The Dark Knight III: The Master Race (2015–2017), she adopts the identity Batwoman.

Carrie was the first full-time female Robin in the history of the Batman franchise, though Julie Madison had passed off as Robin for a brief time in a Bob Kane story published in Detective Comics #49 in March 1941; because Miller's Dark Knight trilogy is not part of the main DC canon, Stephanie Brown became the first mainline female Robin in the early 2000s instead. She has been featured in different forms of media in and out of comics, and made her live-action debut in the television series Gotham Knights, portrayed by Navia Robinson.
