We often remember our loved ones through rose-tinted glasses. The soft pink tint of the memories would sometimes reveal ludicrous details and anecdotes of humour and heartbreak, perhaps some hints at longing and love. In this story, a man who was the pillar of his community is remembered for his stories and the stories he tells. These are facets that hope to form a semi-coherent collage of what makes a person. Artist Chee takes on Amir Hafizi's text and presents these facets of a man, a teacher, a farmer and a storyteller as they have never been seen before.
Chee is an internationally recognised comics artist. He has done work for IDW Publishing, author Mark Waid, and is now working with French comics publishers. Scenes of the Father is his first illustrated book with Maple Comics.
