Wide-eyed Peace Corps volunteer Cathy Grant has come to Central Africa to make a difference in the lives of the people there. Her intentions are good, but the work is far more difficult than she could have ever imagined. Her struggle intensifies as she becomes involved in the overzealous endeavors of a passionate fellow volunteer named Jack Glaser, a man who will have a positive impact on the lives of the natives—whether they want it or not. Writer Cindy Goff invests this Prestige Format one-shot with a lot of heart and proves that good comic books can be far more than capes and tights.

TALES FROM THE HEART COMIC BOOK!

"The African experiences of a young Peace Corps volunteer”
RARE and OUT OF PRINT.

HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM.

Autobiographical comics have been around for a while, but few tackle the subject matter of this ongoing series. Subtitled “The African experiences of a young Peace Corps volunteer,” each issue features stories of a young woman and her struggles in dealing with an often cruel and frustrating world around her. One day it’s the lack of water; the next it’s healthcare struggles; and on another, it’s quality entertainment in a land where something as simple as kicking a soccer ball can bring happiness to scores of African children. There are even moments of beauty and joy, which must be appreciated—since they are few and far between.

Published by Slave Labor Graphics, the series offers a glimpse into a world that most readers will never confront, but can now comprehend from the printed page. Written by Cindy Goff and Rafael Nieves, and drawn by Aldin Baroza, it’s not a pretty world, but it is real.


Published by SLG in 1989.
