Friend of the Station, writer/artist James Burns has released his latest comic book story, Speechless. Speechless is the true story of an artist and designer who had a brush with thyroid cancer, and the fear and frustration he experienced when he loses his voice as a result of an operation.
SPEECHLESS – Written and Illustrated by James Burns, Speechless is a 40 page comic book in glorious black & white and can be purchased here for $2.99. Click images for larger view.
Speechless is not Burns’ first autobiographical book. His first comic, Detached, follows James’ experience as a visual artist who was suddenly confronted by the very real fear of blindness after suffering a detached retina. It’s not a medical story so much as a psychological one, involving fear, death, faith, and hope. Detached is a very personal story, but one that James was uniquely qualified to tell.
DETACHED – Written and Illustrated by James Burns, Detached is a 28 page comic book in glorious black & white and can be purchased here for $3.00.
