Niebieskie pigułki

Frederik Peeters’ intimate graphic memoir, originally published in French as Pilules bleues and later translated into Polish by Wojciech Nowicki, chronicles his real-life relationship with a woman living with HIV. First released in 2003 and still in print, the single-volume work uses Peeters’ expressive black-and-white art to explore love, fear, and the daily realities of the virus. It stands as a landmark in autobiographical comics for its unflinching yet tender handling of a subject often shrouded in stigma.
