A powerful study in introspection, inheritance, and the manifestation of hypochondria by a talented indie cartoonist. Beautifully illustrated and poignantly told, the author investigates the guilt they carry as a young Filipino person born into a family that benefited from the Marcos regime, and how that materializes within the physical body.

"Cicatrix is beautiful and deeply honest, a clear-eyed look at something strange and unexplainable--family, harm, guilt, and our own fragile bodies." - Eleanor Davis, The Hard Tomorrow
