Cicatrix Alivia Horsely but their weighty subjects––shameBy Elle. Published by Silver Sprocket. Softcover, 48 pages, Colour, 2022. A powerful study in introspection, inheritance, and the manifestation of hypochondria by a talented indie cartoonist. Beautifully illustrated and poignantly told, the author investigates the guilt they carry as a young Filipino person born into a family that benefited from the Marcos regime, and how that materializes within the physical body.
