Are pictures really worth a thousand words?

I am looking forward to reading and analyzing graphic novels. From my past encounters with graphic novels, (“The Good Neighbors” by Holly Black) (The Spderwick Chronicles). I feel that I gain a better understanding  of the text if it includes an image(s), I find it less tedious at times. Images can do a great job at capturing gestures but I find that the more precise images are, the less authors could be most likely to omit words. Are pictures really worth a thousand words?  Will it affect all genres?

Narrative is determined not by a desire to narrate but by a desire to exchange. (Roland Barthes, S/Z)
