WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — The graphic novel, whose secret identity is a lengthy comic book, has grown up.

Why? The appeal of graphic novels now stretches well beyond these books' traditional market of teenagers and 20-something males.

Carole Lombard (October 6, 1908 – January 16, 1942), born Jane Alice Peters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, was an Oscar-nominated American actress. She was particularly noted for her comedic roles in several classic films of the 1930s.

Ancestry and early life
Her parents were Frederick C. Peters and Elizabeth Knight. Lombard's paternal grandfather, John Claus Peters, was the son of German immigrants, Claus Peters and Caroline Catherine Eberlin. One distant branch of Lombard's mother's family originated in England; her ancestors John and Martha Cheney emigrated to North America in 1634.
