About Graphic Medicine:

“Graphic Medicine is the intersection of the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare.” -Ian Williams, MD and Cartoonist

Graphic Medicine, or the use of comics medicine, provides opportunities for participants in healthcare to engage with the experience(s) of health in unique ways. Example areas in the field include instructional and educational comics, graphic memoirs (or pathographies), fictionalized medical encounters, comic pamphlets and posters, comics creation guides, monographs on comic studies, and more. The Graphic Medicine Collection at Countway Library aims to be a comprehensive, multipurpose resource for Harvard community members and beyond. Explore the collection in our Russell Reading Room on the second floor or online at countway.info/graphicmedicine.
