Recommendations for Comics with a Focus on Mental Health Themes?

[MartianManhunter51]

I've been getting really into stories that explore mental health, and I'm curious if there are any comics that handle these themes well. I'm already familiar with "Dear Evan Hansen" and "The Prince and the Dressmaker," but I'm looking for more recommendations. What are some graphic novels or comic series that really dig deep into mental health, anxiety, or related topics while still being engaging and accessible?

While "Dear Evan Hansen" does touch on mental health themes, it's more of a musical adaptation than strictly a comic, which might skew your expectations. For true graphic novels that get into mental health, I'd recommend "I Kill Giants" by Joe Kelly and Ken Niimura; it explores grief and anxiety through a unique lens, but be prepared for some heavy themes. Just a heads up that while it's an engaging read, it may not be as accessible for everyone, depending on where they are with those topics.
