The graphic novel Cancer Vixen about breast cancer was used as an example to examine whether reading of graphic novels may enhance insight into illness experiences.

The results indicate that - from a content perspective - this graphic novel may be of value in medical education and health psychology settings to teach students and patients about the human side of being ill
