Graphic medicine is a genre that sits at the intersection of comics and healthcare. These works often tackle challenging subjects such as illness, caregiving, mental health, and the healthcare system itself, using the visual format of comics to make these topics more accessible and relatable. The combination of text and images allows for a rich exploration of experiences that can be difficult to convey through words alone.

Please take a look at HSLIC’s Graphic Medicine Collection! It can be found on the 4th Floor of HSLIC on the shelving facing Room 428.
