Mortals - Paperback

by John Dermot Woods (Author), Matt L (Illustrator)

There isn't a role Francis has played well. An actor well

past his prime, he barely has an acting career to speak of.

His ex-wife, Claudette, finds him pathetic and he routine-

ly disappoints his precocious young son, Courtney. When

an opportunity to play the dying father of a teenage pop

sensation chasing indie film credit comes along, Francis

must sacrifice his ego and heightened self-importance for

this one last shot at legacy. The mortality of his on-screen

character is a stark reminder of his own end that day by

day feels closer than ever before. In the end, what will

Francis have to show for the life he has lived?

From writer John Dermot Woods and artist Matt L.

comes a deeply meditative graphic novel about aging and

posterity,
