Explores graphic pathography, long-form comics by and about subjects who suffer from disease or are impaired, and how it improves various negatively affected corporeal states through hand-drawn images.



Trade Review

“Monica Chiu demonstrates that the highly personalized rendering of illness experience in graphic pathographies provides readers with an embodied illness perspective that significantly differs from biomedical and clinical accounts, diagnoses, and understandings of illness. Her study on how drawing in graphic pathographies functions to retell and reimagine illness from an ill individual’s perspective is poised to make a foundational contribution to a field of study that is just now reaching maturation.”
