About the series
A single-issue comic from 2007 published by Cargo, Chemogirl is a graphic memoir by artist Marisa Acocella Marchetto that candidly chronicles her experience with breast cancer treatment. Rather than a superhero origin, the book offers a witty, stylish, and unflinching look at navigating illness, relationships, and the absurdities of the medical world. It stands as a poignant and personal work that helped expand the comics medium's capacity for autobiographical storytelling about serious health topics.
