Graphic Novel
Winner of the 2005 Eisner Award in the category of Best
Digital Comic for the original Web version, Mom's Cancer is
now available as a graphic novel. An honest, unflinching,
and sometimes humorous look at the practical and emotional
effect that serious illness can have on patients and their
families, Mom's Cancer is a story of hope-uniquely told in
words and illustrations. Brian Fies is a freelance journalist whose mother was
diagnosed with lung cancer. As he and his two sisters
struggled with the effects of her illness and her ongoing
recovery from treatment, Brian processed the experience in
his journal, which took the form of words and pictures. The story that came to be known as "Mom's Cancer" first
gained notice on the internet. It was posted anonymously,
with the intention of sharing information and insights
gained from his family's experience. Thanks to the words and
illustrations of Brian Fies, readers have already responded
that they were surprised and gratified to realize that they
weren't alone. Abrams Image is proud to bring this story to
a whole new audience.
