A New Jerusalem
A New Jerusalem | Benjamin Dickson
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
A boy's traumatized father comes home from the Second World War, but can't make the transition to civilian life. This is a beautifully crafted graphic portrayal of PTSD and the consequences it can have on everyone around the person affected, especially if not acknowldeged and understood. A historical graphic novel of utmost relevance now.

A powerful and heartbreaking story. It's about a young boy and his relationship with his father who is suffering from PTSD. Beautiful drawings in black and white. (In the picture Ralph is meeting his father for the first time in years. His father has been a soldier during WWII). #graphicnovel #ptsd

Next up!
1945. The war is over. Eleven year-old Ralph lives with his mother, plays in bombed-out buildings, and dreams of the day his father will come home and tell him all about his heroic battles. But when his father actually does return, he's far from what Ralph expected: his father is sullen, withdrawn and refuses to discuss the war at all. As Britain looks to a future fit for heroes, Ralph's father struggles to adjust to civilian life. #ptsd
