Spotlight: Sarc, by Cole Henley

Jan. 25, 2023 by Ian Williams

  • Pinterest

Sarc is a short comic I did to try and communicate my experiences late in 2019 when I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. I wanted to convey some of the medical journey but also my personal experiences and the impact on those around me. The comic is deliberately left open ended because diagnosis for many is just the start of a journey, especially with chronic illnesses. I (Cole Henley) am a web developer, illustrator and recovering archaeologist from Somerset. You can find out more about me over on my website: https://cole007.net/

A Hundred Thousand Knots and more – Spotlight on Kukka-Maria Kiuru

Alopecia has always been in my life. It runs in the family. I first got signs of it when I was 5 years old.

Years later, after losing all my body hair, I had to confront my own attitude towards this disease and figure out something to help me get through the bitterness and fear. Alopecia has very visual symptoms. Losing my hair, eyebrows… Read More
