“MK Czerwiec’s tales of her nursing work on an AIDS unit chart a remarkable episode in the history of medicine. It’s a time of staggering loss but also remarkable change. Through the lives and deaths of individual patients, written and drawn in documentary detail, we see the power dynamic between doctor and patient begin to shift. When cure is not an option, care takes on a new meaning.” —Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home

Now available:

The book is a very unique one. It begins with an introductory comic created by Ian Williams and I, using scripts and avatars created by our co-authors on the Manifesto: Michael Green, Kimberly Meyers, Scott Smith and Susan Squier.

This intro is followed by text essays by each of the authors about their area of work in Graphic Medicine. Each chapter starts with the authors’ comics “origin story” and describe how they’ve come to integrate comics into their scholarship.

The book is also an anthology of great works of Graphic Medicine, as each chapter is followed by an example carefully chosen by that chapter’s author.

The book’s conclusion features testimonial avatars by almost thirty members of the interdisciplinary graphic medicine community commenting on the impact graphic medicine has on their work.

See what I mean by a unique book?! Available now from Penn State University Press.
