Mom's Cancer

Mom's Cancer Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Each year, approximately 1.5 million people in the United States and Canada are diagnosed with cancer. This is one familys story.

Winner of the 2005 Eisner Award in the category of Best Digital Comic for the original Web version, Moms 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, Moms 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 “Moms Cancer” first gained notice on the internet. It was posted anonymously, with the intention of sharing information and insights gained from his familys experience. Thanks to the words and illustrations of Brian Fies, readers have already responded that they were surprised and gratified to realize that they werent alone. Abrams ComicArts is proud to bring this story to a whole new audience.
