Graphic Medicine

"Graphic medicine is the use of comics to tell personal stories of illness and health. The combined language of words and pictures that is the comic medium gives approachability and emotional impact to these personal stories, and even to the clinical data they sometimes include." (National Library of Medicine)

The Netter Library has been collecting and circulating graphic novels that center around health, identity, and the human experience since roughly 2017. They are integrated into the paper collection, and have a clear, red dot on the spine label.
