This is simply gorgeous work: Giant, by Mollie Ray, who was tagged as one of the emerging indie comics talents to watch for by Broken Frontier (a top UK site covering Indie comics).

It is entirely wordless, the emotional story of a family dealing with illness is carried purely by the artwork, layout & framing (also making it ideal for anyone with dyslexia or reading problems).

I strongly suspect I will be adding this one to my own collection...
