- Ian Williams page (Ian Williams is a comics artist, physician and writer, now living in Brighton. He has studied Medicine, Medical Humanities and Fine Art and he originated the website GraphicMedicine.org, coining the term that has been applied to the interaction between the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare. Born of a Welsh family, he grew up in the north of England and studied Medicine in Cardiff before moving to North Wales, where he lived for over twenty years, to pursue his love of mountaineering. He worked as a doctor while developing a side career as a painter and printmaker, exhibiting nationally and internationally. He undertook an MA in Medical Humanities and wrote a dissertation on medical narrative in comics and graphic novels. Williams' attempt to find some common ground between his two careers led to the creation of his own comic strips in 2007, using the nom de plume 'Thom Ferrier' to maintain some anonymity while still working in rural general practice. He is joint Series Editor for a forthcoming series of books entitled Graphic Medicine from Penn State University Press. The Bad Doctor is his debut graphic novel.
