Marvelous Memoirs
by GoComicsMemoirs serve as meaningful outlets to share past experiences and personal history. In a magical way, a memoir can provide an almost-immortality, allowing the memory of a person and lessons they've taught us to live on long after they are gone.
Inspired by We Love Memoirs Day (August 31), we wanted to highlight a very special memoir, Mom's Cancer, from one of our talented cartoonists, Brian Fies. We are honored to host the emotional, yet beautiful, work on GoComics.
Mom's Cancer is a true story about one family's struggle with metastatic lung cancer. Honest, unflinching, and sometimes humorous, it looks at the practical and emotional effect that serious illness has on patients and their families. In the end, it is a story of hope. Mom's Cancer is a groundbreaking graphic novel that won the comics industry's Eisner and Harvey Awards, as well as the Lulu Blooker Prize and the German Youth Literature Prize.
Thank you, Brian, for sharing such an intimate and important part of your life with us. Read Mom's Cancer from the beginning here.
