Nate Fakes is an observant writer and artist, with a good memory and an eye for small, revealing details. In his clear cartooning style, Fakes shows he and his family navigating a rare disease imperfectly but as well as they can. He captures the confusion and frustration of knowing something's wrong but not what, of desperately wanting to fix something that can't be fixed.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eBrian Fies, Eisner Award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eMom's Cancer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"A Fade of Light\u003c\/i\u003e is a graphic memoir centered on [Nate] Fakes's stepdad, Ron, who came into Nate's life in the 1990s and brought light into their family--until progressive dementia caused Ron's own light to begin to fade.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Fall 2022 Announcements: Comics \u0026amp; Graphic Novels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first time Nate met his future stepdad in the summer of 1994, he thought Ron was nice, goofy, and kind, the type of guy who wasn't afraid to be himself. Ron liked to honk at other Jeeps while driving his own, bang on the drums without abandon, and order practically the whole menu at drive-thrus. It was alternatively embarrassing, annoying, and funny, though one thing was for sure: life with Ron was never dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as years passed, Nate noticed Ron's behavior becoming erratic and strange.
