The BU Arts & Sciences Magazine featured A. David Lewis’s work in Graphic Medicine in their article, “What Comic Books Can Teach Us About Medicine.” The piece discusses how Lewis moved from using the medium to look at religion and mythic lore to that of healthcare.
With his new book, Lewis brings together his study of religion and medicine. “I don’t think it was an accident that I shifted to healthcare,” he says. “I’ve noticed the shared concerns, the shared approaches, the shared questions that they have, and comics are a wonderful space for them to engage each other. The through-line is that both of these fields represent selfhood.”
The article features sketches by Noel Tuazon, photography by Golden Door Photography, and the cover art for Body, Soul, and Comics: Graphic Religion and Graphic Medicine.
