John Paul Brammer Shares Scene from Graphic Novel
John Paul Brammer, author of ¡Hola Papi!, is working on a new graphic novel, and he’s giving fans over at Substack a sneak peek at a scene. Brammer explains, “the first chapter is about a kid in Catholic school who is almost entirely nonverbal and unable to communicate with the people around him…The isolation and loneliness of this condition is something I’ve experienced in my real life, especially when I was a child. I use stained glass to represent that thick barrier between a quiet misfit and the world around them.” The graphic novel is still in the book proposal stages, and Brammer says nothing is finalized yet. He is collaborating on this project with Mike Renaud, founder and co-CEO at Varyer.
