I scored a spiffy, modern copy of The Entity a year ago. But it has just sat on my To Read Shelf - because the print's too small for these Grandpa Eyes!
I was stoked to find this trade paperback version - with much larger print! Now I'm ready to dig into it!

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.)

I struggled with depression in high school, as many teenagers do. Nick Pope's affliction is a bit more serious - but he finds a way out of it.
