Barking- Lucy Sullivan [HARDBACK]
Barking- Lucy Sullivan [HARDBACK]
"Barking is everything comics should strive to be . . . a powerful and haunting metaphor for mental health, and the human condition, that you'll never forget." --Jeff Lemire, author of Essex County
"One of the boldest experiments in comics in years, a singular vision, an uncompromising leap into the unknown because of a deep personal need. It is utterly unique and ultimately rewarding." -- Bleeding Cool
A year after the death of her friend, Alix’s depression and grief still hound her in this personally-inspired graphic novel.
Loopy . . . cuckoo . . . stark raving. . . .
When the depression and grief Alix feels over the death of her friend overwhelm her, she’s institutionalized. But inside a psychiatric ward, things don’t get better for her – now she has nowhere to get away from her rapidly-spiraling thoughts. As Alix navigates disinterested attendants, group therapy, and isolation, she must build herself a new equilibrium and tame the black dog of her depression.
Inspired by her own struggles with mental health, Lucy Sullivan tells a powerful, emotional story about the problems that sometimes overwhelm us all – and the failures in the mental health system we depend on.
