The field of graphic medicine is an emerging genre of medical literature combining the art of comics and personal illness narratives. The topic will be explored in the National Library of Medicine Travelling Poster Exhibit, hosted by our friends at the UTSW Library. 

The posters will be on display April 29–June 4 at E2.200 in the Florence Building. The banner exhibition and companion website, “Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived & Well-Drawn!,” curated by artist, educator, and New York Times bestselling-author and artist Ellen Forney. 

Feeling creative? A coloring book with images taken from the rare Hebra’s Atlas of Skin Diseases will be available for download or pickup near the exhibit.
