Silent Enemy

Silent Ene​my​ is a 28-page comic book about a father who finds out he has lung cancer and receives treatment for it. 

The story focuses on the themes of hope, humour, family and survival, and compares the path the father travels and the love and support his family give him, to a wilderness walk, during which unexpected challenges come up and are overcome as a family. 

Silent Enemy is most suitable for older youth, adults and families.
