Yes, read the classic 'book' Understanding Comics, which is itself a comic/graphic novel about theories and practice behind creating graphic novels and telling stories with the medium.
As plain text it would be very dull and difficult to get the main points, but as a graphic novel it directly demonstrates how and why things work in the graphic medium.
It's really an incredible book that should be read by anyone doing creative things. https://scottmccloud.com/2-print/1-uc/

I thought of the same book as I was reading GP's comment, it's a perfect example, and a very engaging read.

The Cartoon Guide to Computer Science is pretty good: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34748916
Is it possible to have a comic that explains something better than text alone, while being easier to understand?
Usually these comics tend to hide complexity by simplifying things, which is fine. It’s an interesting thought to consider a man page as a comic.
