Sadly, no one has yet (to my knowledge) created the 3D novel, but cultural commentator and award-winning graphic novelist Warren Ellis is experimental with ways of reading. Ellis is collaborating with Matt "D'Israeli" Brooker on a graphic novel which will include UV printing.
The mysterious forthcoming graphic novel SVK will come with a special UV torch. When readers shine this torch on the pages, they reveal text printed in UV ink. And judging from the publicity buzz, this won't just be any text; the UV ink will be limited purely to character's thoughts, thus the UV makes up another ontologically distinct level of the narrative.
According to the book's producer's BERG, Ellis describes SVK as "Franz Kafka's Bourne Identity", whatever that means!
Now, I'm not really a graphic novel reader, but UV gimmickry is certainly tempting me!
