Dotter of Her Father's Eyes

A moving, autobiographical graphic memoir from Dark Horse, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes (2012–present) is a single-issue work by writer Mary M. Talbot and artist Bryan Talbot. The story interweaves two narratives: the author's own difficult childhood with a demanding, James Joyce–scholar father, and the tragic, constrained life of James Joyce’s daughter, Lucia. By contrasting these two experiences, the Talbots explore themes of paternal expectation, artistic legacy, and the struggle for female identity. This intimate, critically acclaimed book stands as a powerful example of the graphic memoir form.
