Psychiatric Tales: Eleven Graphic Stories about Mental Illness / Darryl Cunningham 139 p.



An intriguing and moving book in which Cunningham shares stories and insights about his time working as a nurse assistant in an English psychiatric hospital. The topic is very well suited to Cunningham's artistic style. Something about the faceless outlined figures suffering in various poses is quite moving. The latter portion veers into personal confessional which I found less interesting than his straightforward depictions of various mental health challenges.
