A graphic memoir of coming to understand identity

Lewis Hancox’s graphic memoir looks back on his teenage years through a conversation between his present-day self and the younger self who has not yet recognized that he is trans. The account connects questions about body image and attraction with the confusion and hurt of that period, alongside moments the description characterizes as funny. Its central structure—an older self trying to reach a younger one—frames the story as a retrospective on the path toward understanding his identity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in graphic memoirs
  • Readers seeking personal accounts of trans adolescence and identity
  • Readers interested in memoirs that address body image, attraction, and coming of age

Book overview

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.
