One of my hobbies includes study of comics and graphic novels. I am entranced by them. Particularly, I like the fact that they can communicate messages through art in a powerful way (much like literature itself). Some of my favorite comics and books have dealt with some very serious topics. One of which was David Small's Stitches, in which he talks about his battle with cancer. This was a meaningful story for me to read because I am a cancer survivor myself, as is my mother.
Another one I enjoy is Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half. Her drawings are not only hilarious, but they tackle serious issues, such as Brosh's own battle with depression. If you would like to read it, check it out. Her comics are also incredibly funny, in addition to being real.
