I can't help but feel sad about mental health comics for the single reason that people are drawn to them. I get that they may be relating to the work or the act of making comics helps the artist reflect, which are all positive things but I feel like the suffering is what attracts the readers. If all the reader wants is heartbreaking material, that isn't sustainable for the artist to maintain.
What happens when the artist heals? Will people still want to read it? I hope so,
