Welcome to St. Hell by Lewis Hancox

A groundbreaking memoir about being a trans teen, in the vein of FUN HOME and FLAMER… and at the same time entirely its own.

Lewis has a few things to say to his younger teen self. He knows she hates her body. He knows she’s confused about who to snog. He knows she’s really a he and will ultimately realize this… but she’s going to go through a whole lot of mess (some of it funny, some of it not funny at all) to get to that point. Lewis is trying to tell her this… but she’s refusing to listen.

In WELCOME TO ST. HELL, author-illustrator Lewis Hancox takes readers on the hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt, and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be. It’s a remarkable, groundbreaking graphic memoir from an unmistakably bold new voice in comics.

Heya, we're back today with day 10 of Queer Creativity, highlighting the creative contributions of queer people for pride month:)

Today's work is Welcome to Saint Hell by Lewis Hancox

Summary: Another graphic novel memoir, Lewis Hancox tells his story growing up as a young teen in the early 2000s. The book discusses dysphoria, relationships with family, friends & partners, and the confusion that comes with trying to find yourself when it feels like no one understands you- not even yourself. It's quite funny at points with its fourth-wall-breaking humor, but overall is quite frank and genuine.

This was actually a recent find for me; I had seen Hancox's YouTube channel and enjoyed his skits, but didn't realize he had a full graphic novel out. I really enjoyed both the art style and meta elements of the story, especially when he used it as an interesting way for self reflection. I definitely recommend for a fun but also heartfelt read:)
