Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus #[nn]
"Cain and Abel" is a stark, deeply human retelling from Chester Brown’s *Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus*, where the story of Tamar unfolds with quiet intensity. Brown’s precise, expressive art and unflinching narration bring emotional weight to her desperate attempt to secure her future in a world governed by duty and silence. The cover, also by Brown, mirrors the story’s somber tone with its restrained, hand-drawn power.
