out from Top Shelf Productions/IDW Publishing in November 2023, translated from the original French byfrom Oni Press has become the most banned book in the USA, with spillover to Canada, UK and Australia. But it comes from a different perspective, at least initially.In Transitions, university biologist Anne Marbot learns that the 19-year-old she raised as"Lucie" is a transgender man named Alex. Struggling to understand her son's new identity, she's overwhelmed by questions.
"When I met Anne, there was no resource in France for parents living through the transition of their child," says cartoonist Élodie Durand."Anne felt powerless to understand or support her son. She had this desire to bear witness for others, to find a way to help." Thus Durand was invited to adapt Anne's experience into Transitions.
"Creating this book," says Durand,"involved many challenges: being fair, respecting everyone's word, taking into account the complex feelings of Anne and Alex, and those around them." At the book's conclusion, Alex himself shares his own perspective in a six-page scene. "The world needs this book now more than ever," says Top Shelf senior editor Leigh Walton."Friends and family who are navigating the gender transition of a loved one may first be struck by feelings of confusion, concern, or even grief. Those feelings are real and a place to start — but the story must not end there.
