GM Review: Review by Ian Williams
Annotation: Rx is a memoir about bipolar disorder, involuntary hospitalization, and the pharmaceutical industry. The art contains depth and added meaning to the text. For example, Rachel’s eyes are drawn differently for a manic episode, a depressed episode, and balanced. The iconography is rich. The story follows the creator as she suffers from bipolar disorder leading to her hospitalization. There are contrasting views from her, her mental healthcare providers, and her family.
