Vic Lee's Corona Diary by Vic Lee

Vic Lees Corona Diary is an exquisitely illustrated graphic novelstyle memoir chronicling the dramatic events around the global spread of the coronavirus.
As the lives of all of us have played out over through the pandemic the book will be a great visual read for many as a reflection and reminder of what we’ve been through, via the lens of a visual artist who was compelled to take up his brush and document the worst global crisis of recent times-- Derek Brazell * Association of Illustrators *
One of The Most Anticipated Graphic Novels of 2021 According to Goodreads Members -- Tommy Williams * GeekTyrant *

The book is a chaotic collage that hangs together because its apparent formlessness echoes the uncertainty of the pandemic, the need to constantly remain on alert. It can be tricky to create a memoir as you are living it, but Lee benefits because his circumstance is shared by us. His book is full of small moments of recognition.

-- David Ulin * The Orange County Register *
The 88-page book tells the story of the pandemic year — the highs and the lows, from clapping campaigns for front-line workers to toilet paper shortages and the vaccine rollout efforts. -- Victoria Craig * Marketplace.org *
This diary includes news, witty observations and a little bit of comedy though it doesn’t shy away from the lives that have been lost or the social impact of the pandemic. -- Neymat Raboobee * BookRiot *
Created as the year 2020 unfolded, Lee’s personal and cathartic memoir conveys the ups and downs felt by people throughout the world—from the earliest news of an outbreak in Wuhan to lockdowns and toilet paper shortages to the growing numbers of victims, opinions and reactions. -- Holly Davis * Artists Magazine *
Vic Lee is an artist, illustrator, storyteller, wordsmith and mapmaker.
