Choices-the choices we make, the choices we refuse to make-and the inevitable consequences are what FIGHTS is really about. FIGHTS is essential not only for the guts it took to tell this life tale, not only for the unflinching candor and clarity of this often harrowing account of hard-scrabble suffering and survival, but because Joel cuts through the meat, the muscle, the tendons, and bone to reach the marrow. "In a windswept ocean of graphic memoirs, Joel Christian Gill's FIGHTS stands tall. Joel has been making crucial, honest work for years- and his breakout has arrived." -Nate Powell, illustrator of March His approach to both composition and subject matter are fresh and engaging. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "FIGHTS is somehow brutally raw, funny as hell, deeply sensitive and insightful in each panel.
