By

“Perfect Sisters” is a graphic narrative loosely depicting Lily Bell’s experiences in suburban Massachusetts, and with domestic violence. It touches on how a traditional family can fail the victim of domestic violence, and how that failure can compound the victim’s trauma. The story was written by Lily Bell, who also conceived the characters. Joyanna M did the final illustrations.
