One of the things I always love about your blog is the incredible diversity in the things you read. This is certainly something that I would not really pick up anytime soon if I would come across it in a comics store. But after reading this post I was certainly fascinated enough to maybe check this out😊 Well done and great post!😀
I appreciate your support, Michel. It means a lot to me, and I’m always happy to see how intrigued you are by everything I share with you guys. Thank you so much for reading, sir! 🙂
Thank you so much, Sophie! I do love to read about those moments, even if it’s sometimes truly heartbreaking. There’s just so much you can learn from other people’s experience!
Ha! I just had to check this one out after having read the author’s latest release, Home After Dark. Hope you enjoy it when you get around to reading it! 😀
While I love graphic memoirs, I tend to avoid tragedies. Not because I can’t handle it, but because life is too short to read books which cripple me emotionally. I read for escapism and I prefer happiness when I escape. 😉 That said, I’m super glad you reviewed this memoir! It sounds overwhelming and super powerful. Plus, those illustrations? Heartwrenching and beautiful. I love the art!
I totally understand. 😉 I do remember that being a condition to what you decide to read. I personally love hearing about these true stories/tragedies since they give us so much insight on things we can’t understand unless we see them, live through them. And yes! The artwork is perfect for the story being told. Great stuff! 😁
Oh boy. It could’ve taken David Small one more tragic event in his life for things to turn into a complete disaster. Definitely nice that art and storytelling won him over.
Wonderful review sir! It just goes to show that comics – or the graphic art form – are more versatile than a lot would give them credit for and can be utilised to tell all kinds of stories, whether they be fiction or not.
Thank you, Chris! Absolutely. Its versatility is probably the most unknown thing about comics for most of the world too, which is pretty sad! At least with the rise of superheroes, the relevance of this medium is becoming much more acknowledged!

Excellent review! I always love when books bring us back in time and shed light on some events even horrific ones.

His parental situation was very similar to Jeff Dahmer . . . Thankfully, Small had a more constructive form of release, as well as interest
