What sets this graphic novel into the graphic medicine category are Ms. Butterworth’s adventures of being a survivor of a smallpox outbreak, provider of elder care, and medical detective. The story starts with the 1797 birth of Miss Butterworth in… Read More

The Naked Tree

by Matt Peters   The trauma of violence can linger decades later, waiting for the slightest reminder to bring it back to the surface. A resemblance of something from the past can steal the survivor from the present, forcing them to relive a separation, a loss, or an atrocity. Clinical terms like post-traumatic stress disorder can’t fully describe how the experience permeates a survivor’s life, turning the past into something inescapable. It can haunt not only survivors but also their posterity, as behavioral cues and epigenetic markers—chemical changes to DNA—are passed on to the next generation, causing the initial shock… Read More

So Much for Love: How I Survived a Toxic Relationship

 by Soph Myers-Kelley Sophia Lambda in So Much for Love: How I Survived a Toxic Relationship shares the vulnerable truth of her experience dating a manipulative, abusive person with scathing honesty, and jumping off the page emotions. Her art utilizes beautifully soft and embracing lines, and the use of color is perhaps the star of the (visual) show. While most of the art is black and white and grey, Lambda uses one or two bright colors to emphasize the mood of a given scene and the emotions she’s feeling. It makes the images pop and draws your attention to important… Read More
