| Publisher Description: Dumb is a true comic series about Georgia Webber's voicelessness due to injury in 2012, and the subsequent months of recovery. It is also acollection of audio pieces, an interview project, a video collage, a documentation experiment, and a filter through which to examine identity, physiology, spirituality, intimacy, sociology, privilege, justice, and more. The first two parts of Dumb are included in this compilation and introduce Georgia in her natural vocally abundant state: working, socializing, volunteering at a bike co-op, going out, all as the pain (represented by stars) interferes more and more. A diagnosis is given, but she is left with little more. Then the aftermath of diagnosis is shown, the gathering of information, and the trauma of change. An internal battle is waged in images on the page. Includes introductions written by Madeleine Palmer, Georgia's voice coach, and by Natalie Zina Walschots, a music writer specializing in metal, as well as "Aftermath" and "Splitting". |
