Becoming Abel

Centred on two characters from Justin Case and the Closet Monster: Hope, Abigail and Bethanie, Becoming Abel is the story of how the nurturing power of love, and the belief in one's self, can act as a catalyst for healing and self-acceptance. Abigail, a Closet Monster tasked to help humans come out, has been trapped in their own closet. After struggling with their identity, and afraid to share their truth, Abigail finally emerges as who they were always meant to be.

“Julien’s aesthetic is decorative in that his style is full of patterns and shapes while rooted in a cartoonist’s sensibilities…These powerful scenes alternate with silent passages are a meditation on the Self, evoking empathy from the reader, as Abigail’s inward journey leads from isolation to embracing the truth that was impossible to believe…” - JOE PALMER, GAY LEAGUE
