The MLA has a section on graphic novels. Basically, you cite the source in the same way as a regular non-periodical publication. If it's a single author, yes, you would use (Author, Page) format. See the Purdue OWL online writing lab for details on MLA format. See also this site for specific information on how to form graphic novel citations in your Works ...

Note that these are discussions about style, not something like grammar; as such, there is no "correct" or "incorrect" way among the different choices. The best thing is to pick one style and stick to it. And, APA and MLA are just two out of dozens of commonly used styles of citation. When considering which style to follow, you should also consider the ...

MLA doesn't specify how to format articles with foreign titles, but for books it specifies that you should include a translation of the title after the foreign title, and it should be italicized and in brackets. I'd say it's safe to adopt the same convention for articles. In either case, the first title should be the foreign language title as it is ...

After reading your question I did a little search and discovered this: Use present tense to introduce cited or quoted material and to make personal comments on such materials. Use past tense only when directly quoting a passage that is in past tense or when reporting historical events. This answers the question of why "pass" was corrected to ...

How exactly you present the source depends on how ...

I just checked my copy of MLA Handbook and I find no guidance on this case. The only example it gives has a single name. (I'll readily yield to someone who can point out that I missed something.) Given that, I'd just say, "Do something sensible." It's conventional in other instances, like footnotes, to separate names with commas, so that's what I'd do. Of ...

From memory (and this is quite a long time ago - since finishing my first degree I've used Turabian style rather than MLA), you are correct to use full names (first name before surname), in alphabetical order, separated by commas on a single line. Do you have a copy of the MLA Style Manual? I'd strongly recommend it if you are going to be using MLA style ...

If you are referring to a select section of a quote, mentioned previously or not, you would place an ellipse from where it was selected: "One day at the end of the fall when I was out where the oak forest had been I saw a cloud coming over the mountain." (Else where in the text) "...I saw a cloud coming over the mountain." This ellipse would ...
