"Pass Me By feels like something David Bowie would have created if he made comics instead of music: original. Ahead of its time. Utterly addictive.” - The Comics Journal

Exploring family, loss, tragedy, identity, and self-discovery, the third book in the award winning Pass Me By series, Lily, is a heartfelt tale about how our stories carry through time, and how we come to terms with change.

17 year old trans girl Lily, visits her estranged grandfather Ed, as he struggles with his rapidly developing Alzheimers. Lily too, faces struggles of her own.
