Graphic Medicine says: "For anyone who has ever felt lost in the world or wrestled with the questions of identity, this book will resonate deeply. Nick Pope is a reminder that while the journey of life is often difficult, our connections that we make and the art we create that help us navigate it."

It's fascinating that in the wake of two brother filmmaking breakups (the Safdies and the Coens), we're seeing in their subsequent individual films which ones needed the other the most.

Graphic Medicine reviewed my graphic novel Nick Pope - and it was an honor. "Set in a pre-digital era, the book is a tribute to a time when life was simpler in many ways, yet fraught with the universal challenges of youth—identity, belonging, love, and the pursuit of self-worth." #graphicmedicine

My graphic novel Nick Pope covers three months in the diary of a troubled high school sophomore in 1987 who tried to commit suicide in the past.
His family life is chaotic, but his little brother Jamie cares enough to reach out. (Drawn by my departed collaborator Christopher Darling.)
