BOOM! Studios’ Archaia imprint will release About Betty’s Boob, a bandes dessinees chronicling a woman’s (surprisingly comedic) tale of life after a mastectomy.

Written by Vero Cazot and drawn by Julie Rocheleau, the original graphic novel follows Betty after she wakes up in a hospital room minus her left breast. In short order she also loses her job and her boyfriend in a silent sequential narrative, which is filled with sly references to silent movies and popular cartoons. The 192-page hardcover graphic novel has an MSRP is $29.99. Release is planned for June.

The French graphic novel was released by Casterman last September.

“I couldn’t dream of a more fitting achievement for this silent and burlesque title than being adapted/published in the country of Buster Keaton and New-Burlesque,” said writer Vero Cazot.

“Betty is my new favorite heroine. She struggles through and overcomes so much, ultimately to discover that the greatest power is the one from within. She’s an inspiration,” said Sierra Hahn, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “This book will delight readers and defy all expectation.”
