A wildly original graphic novel that dives headfirst into the very real world of phobias—from the fear of flying to the author's own inexplicable fear of onions
Swiss graphic novelist Michaël LaMonnaie offers a unique blend of humor, heart, and psychology as he examines his own lifelong terror of onions. Told through a mix of fictional vignettes and poignant real-life testimonies, the book explores a wide range of anxiety disorders: agoraphobia, school phobia, arachnophobia, and even more surprising fears like bald people or long words.
Rather than mock or minimize these experiences, LaMonnaie offers empathy and understanding, using comedy as a lens to normalize the strange and scary things that live in our heads. Perfect for teens and adults alike, this is an essential, accessible look at mental health—one that makes you laugh, think, and maybe even feel a little less alone.
“This comic will appeal to fans of graphic medicine and humor comics alike and includes a brief list of sources, making it appropriate for consideration in educational settings.” - Booklist
