I picked up issue one of this new comic COMING HOME, as published by RE-LIVE, a mental health charity based in Wales, one that seeks through using the arts to give voice to marginalised groups. In this instance allowing veterans of conflict to discuss their experiences and in particular what they they went through when attempting to pick up the threads of their lives when returning to Civey street. Nothing is ever as simple and straightforward as we wish things would be, complex, difficult and painfully humane this comic is a great read. Each story echoes the experiences of a different voice, each served by a different artist and it works very well indeed as the stories range in complexity and insight. Have to mention Stretcher Bearer Stan, it takes a very humane observation of the verey complex political and social era of The Troubles and handles it in one of the most insightful and quite moving ways I have seen in any medium.
Its a gooed cause and a good comic.
Just the perfect mix of human variables.
Why not lend an attentive ear and a helping hand.
