A fairly common view on this front is that "comics" are any work of visual art that relies on sequences of panels, typically with words ("sequential art" is a good phrase).

Graphic novels are novels (with many of the characteristics of novels in written literature) in comics format. Some people use "graphic novel" in a pretentious way, but it really should just describe that the work is self-contained and fairly long. Graphic novels ARE comics but not all comics are graphic novels.

In point of note, there are also graphic biographies, graphic memoirs, etc. These are all still comics but these more specific names are simply better descriptions.
