‘Giant’ is a wordless, graphic novel inspired by the journey of the author’s brother after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and how our their family were affected. The main character wakes up one morning to find he has grown to the size of a giant, which acts as three metaphors: the physical mutation of cancer; the idea of feeling like the ‘elephant in the room’; but also, the ‘giant’ strength he takes away with him following his recovery. The illustrations have been created in ball-point pen on cartridge paper.
