Marvel chronicles Marvel Harris’s personal struggles with mental illness, self-esteem, acceptance, and gender identity, all told through a powerful collection of self-portraits spanning five years. These photographs present a new visual language—a tool through which Marvel was able to express emotions he had previously struggled to understand due to his autism. The process of creating these portraits allowed him to connect with the world around him at a time when he needed it most.
Winner of the 2021 MACK First Book Award, Marvel is an important new voice that helps raise awareness of issues related to gender identity and mental health. In doing so, this deeply personal book calls for greater societal tolerance toward transgender people and those who do not fully identify as either male or female.
