Psychiatric Tales #[nn]
"Dementia Ward" is a powerful, personal story from Darryl Cunningham, who draws from his own time as a mental health nurse to explore the complexities of care and connection. Written and illustrated entirely by Cunningham, the comic finds its voice in the quiet moments between patients and staff, shaped by the influence of Persepolis and the courage it took to tell this story in pictures. The cover, also by Cunningham, captures the intimate, observational tone of the narrative.
