TWO-WEEK WAIT

Mara Wild Kelly Jackson Luke Jackson

An I.V.F. Story

An original graphic novel based on the IVF stories of its husband-and-wife authors and the 1-in-50 couples around the world like them.

Conrad and Joanne met in their final year of university and have been virtually inseparable since then. For a while, it felt like they had all the time in the world. Yet now, when they are finally ready to have kids, they find that getting pregnant isn't always so easy.

Ahead of them lies a difficult, expensive, and emotional journey into the world of assisted fertility, where each “successful” implantation is followed by a two-week wait to see if the pregnancy takes. Join Joanne and Conrad, their friends, their family, their coworkers, and a stream of expert medical practitioners as they experience the highs and the lows, the tears and the laughter in this sensitive but unflinching portrayal of the hope and heartbreak offered to so many by modern medicine.

Full of beautiful and heartfelt artwork, this book will be a hit in any graphic health collection.

Luke C. Jackson is a teacher, and the author of novels, games, and films. Kelly Jackson is a teacher and educational writer. They began their own IVF journey in 2011, and are now parents of two daughters. Two-Week Wait: an IVF story is their first novel.

Die Hamburger Kuenstlerin Mara Wild wandelt zwischen Illustration, Animation, kuenstlerischer Forschung, Comicszene, VJing, Festivalorganisation – immer zwischen Kunst und Handwerk, Stillstand und Bewegung. Als Videokuenstlerin ist sie seit 2017 im Theaterkontext unterwegs. Meist in Kombination mit Cora Sachs sucht sie nach Formen der Interaktion und des aktiven Eingreifens von Videos ins Buehnengeschehen sowie Verschraenkungen zwischen alten und neuen Theaterformen.

“Compelling, harrowing proof that comics can be much more than superhero stories—they are a dexterous art form that can effectively communicate complex, serious topics.”

“Full of honesty and vulnerability Two-Week Wait will appeal to readers of memoir and graphic novels alike.”
