While it's amazing that writers can use words to build a picture, I'm aphantasic, and it is mostly wasted on me. I can admire the quality of the prose and glean a description of a place or character, but I can't picture it. Ever. Graphic novels are great for me.

That makes sense! I'm the opposite, I'm a very vivid visualizer and pictures next to words are distracting. I do read comics sometimes but its 3x harder and slower for me!

It took my illustrator a year just to hand ink the pages after hand pencilling them
