"Fragments" is an autobiographical comic that portrays, without filters, the experience of living with Dissociative Identity Disorder and other mental health realities, in an attempt to give voice to what often remains silent.

Fragments is an autobiographical comic of about 200 pages, drawn using a hybrid analog and digital technique, with a raw style inspired by sketchbooks.
The book recounts the experience of living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, also addressing topics such as anxiety, depression, bullying, fear, sexuality, and self-harm, and how it is possible to overcome all of these challenges with willpower alone.
Throughout the pages, different voices and fragments of memory intersect, creating an intense and honest portrait of the reality of mental illness, uncensored and unfiltered.
This book does not seek to soften or embellish the pain, but rather to expose it, understand it, and warn of its risks.
The crowdfunding campaign will make it possible to bring this physical edition to life and share this story with those who can recognize themselves in it or understand it better.
Because talking about it can make a difference.

About the author

Júlio Leal is an illustrator and 2D animation concept artist, having worked as a visual artist on an animation project, where he performed the functions of a 2D animator and was responsible for creating the color script for the work Contigo .

Currently, he is developing this book with the goal of being for others what he didn't have for himself, seeking to help people who face bullying, anxiety, depression, or who live with the same illness, so that they don't feel alone or resort to easier solutions like suicide, showing that they can find strength where they didn't know it existed. More than a book, the author seeks to deeply touch people and create an emotional impact through his story.

Budget and due dates

The goal of this campaign is €2500, the amount needed to make the production of this comic book possible.

For a print run of approximately 100 copies in A5 format, with a hard cover, black and white, and between 150 and 200 pages on 100g paper, the production cost in Portugal is, on average, between €550 and €700.

The remaining amount is intended for platform fees, packaging, shipping, and a safety margin. However, any amount above the target will allow for improvements in the quality of the edition or an increase in the print run.

Printing is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
