Mutter hat Krebs

Brian Fies’s deeply personal graphic memoir, originally published in English as Mom’s Cancer, finds a German-language edition from Knesebeck in 2006. Told with unflinching honesty and gentle humor, it chronicles one family’s journey through a mother’s illness and treatment, blending Fies’s own text and art into a landmark work of autobiographical comics. This single-issue volume, translated by Wolfgang J. Fuchs, remains a touchstone for its compassionate, clear-eyed portrayal of a universal human experience.
