challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

Obviously, this is very different from his other works.  David is vulnerable in his graphic memoir about his difficult childhood.  I'm not sure what to say other than it was a powerful memoir about survival and healing.  It gives off silent film/noir vibes with the way that it is illustrated.
