Comics genres are already part of LCGFT.  If you have a horror graphic novel, you assign both Graphic novels and Horror comics.  They are not considered fiction, they are comics.  See http://classificationweb.net/approved-subjects/1515.html for the currently approved literature genre/form terms, which include ones for comics.
