Description
Zara Slattery's graphic memoir Coma is a deeply personal and harrowing account of her 15-day battle with a deadly bacterial infection. When her persistent sore throat turned into a life-threatening illness, she was left in a drug-induced coma, trapped in a nightmare state that seemed impossible to escape. As Zara navigates this dark period, mythological creatures appear out of nowhere, symbolising the fears and anxieties that threaten to engulf her family. Meanwhile, her husband Dan struggles to keep their children safe, preparing them for the possibility of losing their mother. The diary entries of Zara's husband and the nurses in the Intensive Care Unit provide a poignant counterpoint to Zara's own story. This powerful graphic memoir interweaves the personal narratives of those affected by Zara's illness, creating a heart-wrenching portrait of love, loss, and resilience.
