Dear Scarlet: The Story of My Postpartum Depression

Teresa Wong's Dear Scarlet: The Story of My Postpartum Depression (2019–present, Arsenal Pulp Press) is a single-issue graphic memoir that bravely navigates the author's personal experience with postpartum depression. Through intimate, hand-lettered watercolor art, Wong transforms a deeply private struggle into a poignant and resonant story about mental health and new motherhood. This poignant work matters for its unflinching honesty in a medium that often shies away from such raw, personal subject matter.
