Dragonslippers: This Is What an Abusive Relationship Looks Like

Dragonslippers: This Is What an Abusive Relationship Looks Like is a single-issue graphic novel from Grove Press, first published in 2006. Told through the author's own raw, unflinching diary entries and drawings, it offers a deeply personal and unembellished account of the gradual, insidious nature of domestic abuse within a romantic relationship. The work is most associated with its creator, Rosalind B. Penfold, who uses the comic format to document the psychological manipulation and control that defined her experience, making it a starkly honest and important resource for understanding abusive dynamics.
