When the Heart Betrays the Blood

Mathew Calvert

The first piece published by Calvert Comics, When The Heart Betrays The Blood is the story of a young Jewish girl’s escape from sexual abuse at the hands of her uncle via her strange relationship with the son of a white supremacist. Within this lurid Gothic romance the book asks complex ethical questions about personal conduct and group identity. It contrasts evil actions with evil ideology and asks you the reader to evaluate if an otherwise harmless man carrying a banner for an evil cause is worse than a man who portrays himself as decent and upright while quietly being monstrous in his private life. Suggested for mature audiences. Black and white. Printed in the USA in a union shop!
