“Epileptic”

"Epileptic" is a deeply personal, visually striking memoir from David B., rendered with haunting clarity by Pierre-François Beauchard, who both draws and inks the story with a raw, expressive precision. Through fragmented memories and vivid dream sequences, the narrative follows David B.’s turbulent childhood and adolescence, marked by his brother’s escalating seizures and their parents’ search for answers beyond conventional medicine. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, capturing the emotional weight of family, fear, and the surreal landscape of growing up under such strain.

David B. looks back on his childhood and puberty spent with a brother increasingly subject to epileptic seizures. Their unconventional parents explore a number of alternatives to 1970s medical treatments, and David B. gives due diligence to his own feelings of rage and impotence, phantasmagorial dreams and childhood fantasies.
