The webcomic is an autobiographical story dealing with his mother's fight against metastatic lung cancer, as well as his family's reactions to it. Although the story is mostly a serious, insightful depiction of the subject, the writing is lined with subtle humor. In 2005, Mom's Cancer won the comic industry's Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic, a new category that year. In 2006, Abrams Books published a hardcover edition of Mom's Cancer, which won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis. Mom's Cancer is no longer available online. Brian Fies's mother died on October 1, 2005 from side effects of the drugs used to treat her cancer. CharactersThere are four main characters in the story, all of which are part of the family. None of the characters are ever referred by name, and the author uses his relationships to identify them.
Aside from the main characters, there are several secondary characters who appear several times, most notably the author's stepdad and his mother's head doctor. FormatThe story is divided into chapters, each one containing several multipanel pages. Although the webcomic is mostly presented in black and white, several chapters are done in full or partial color, primarily for effect or when color helps the understanding of the ideas that are presented. In total, there are thirty-three chapters, including an epilogue. LegacyMom's Cancer was the first webcomic to receive an Eisner Award in July 2005, under the newly created category "Best Digital Comic".
