In May 2013 Zara Slattery's persistent sore throat turned into a
deadly bacterial infection, after the paracetamol and ice pack
prescribed by her GP failed to work. The world of Zara's 15-day
drug-induced coma, which she describes as 'being trapped in a
nightmare state that you can't wake up from' is rendered as a
full-colour fantasy, with mythological creatures appearing out of
nowhere as she battles to protect her three children against the
forces of evil that threaten to engulf her. Meanwhile, her husband
Dan tries to keep family life going as he faces the most difficult
task of all: preparing the children for the likely loss of their
mother. His diary, and that of the nurses in the Intensive Care
Unit, who kept of record of Zara's illness, interweave to make a
heartbreaking graphic memoir. Coma was shortlisted for the Myriad
First Graphic Novel Competition 2018, the Arts Foundation Futures
Awards 2020 and longlisted for the LDComics Awards 2019.
