Le Nao de Brown

Glyn Dillon's Le Nao de Brown is a deeply personal, single-issue graphic novel from French publisher Akileos, first released in 2012. The story centers on Nao, a young woman of mixed British and Japanese heritage, navigating her life in London while grappling with acute Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Dillon's luminous watercolor art and intimate, non-linear storytelling create a poignant exploration of mental health, memory, and the search for connection. Though it stands alone, this debut remains a quietly influential work, celebrated for its honest, empathetic portrayal of inner life.
