BILLY THE BRAVE - THE COMIC
Billy the Brave - The Comic was specially created in March 2024 to help keep the days bright and cheery for Billy Thompson, a four-year-old boy with terminal brain cancer.
It was the last thing he read. Sadly, Billy passed away on Easter Sunday 31st March.
Initially intended as a personal gift, the online edition of Billy the Brave - The Comic is now available here for all to read, at the request of Billy's parents Jamie and Ellie, and his sister Maddie.
Today, Billy's family and friends continue to raise awareness of issues surrounding DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma - a rare type of brain tumour that primarily affects children), and hope the comic will serve as a pleasant way of drawing attention to their efforts.
