THEFMG

THE FMG (current work in progress)

A Graphic Novel (approximately 180 page count)

THE FMGs follows Dr. Kris, an internal-medicine resident relocating from Boston to Baltimore for his residency. On the flight south, he strikes up an unexpected friendship with Charly, a stranger whose quiet intensity lingers beyond their brief encounter. When Kris later learns that Charly’s brother has died under suspicious circumstances, what begins as a casual human connection develops into an ethical dilemma involving medical access, emotional entanglement, and the quiet ways moral compromise takes hold. As Kris uncovers evidence suggesting the death was not natural, he must decide whether truth is something to pursue—or something to live with. The graphic novel is not a procedural mystery but a work of psychological and ethical realism, focused on power, silence, and complicity within intimate and institutional settings. Hospitals, apartments, and late-night conversations form the primary spaces of the story, with tension driven by restraint rather than spectacle. The submitted sampler represents a self-contained narrative arc from the larger work. The project is planned as a single, complete volume. A detailed outline and additional finished pages are available upon request.
