Epileptic

by David B.
Epileptic - Thryft
Epileptic - Thryft

Poignant family struggle through graphic novel brilliance.

'Epileptic' isn't just a narrative; it's an emotional journey that truly brings you into the heart of a family's battle against illness. David B. masterfully combines both the stark realities of living with epilepsy and the psychological complexities it imposes on a family. It's a raw, visually striking graphic novel that doesn't just tell a story; it pulls you into a whirlwind of emotions that will resonate long after you turn the last page.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
