Author: Fies, Brian

Winner of the 2005 Eisner Award for Best Digital "Comic," MOM'S CANCER is finally available as a graphic novel. Brian Fies is a freelance writer whose mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. As he and his sisters struggled with the effects of her illness and her ongoing recovery from "treatment," Fies serialized their story as a Web "comic," posting it to share information and insights gained from his family's experience. Many online readers were surprised and gratified to realize that they weren't alone.
