Meyer, Christoph – The Heart Star

The Heart Star

What a wonderfully crafted little book. I get the impression that Christoph might have trouble drawing a real person, but who cares? This book is about a woman who commits suicide after the man she loves leaving her. Her head is buried and her body is burned because of an old tradition that says that the spirit could only rest in peace if the heart was buried apart from the head. Her heart wanders around, trying to find peace, and that’s all you’ll get out of me. I say this is wonderfully crafted because of the sheer effort he takes with this. Where the heart should be in the ground, there’s a little heart-shaped hole cut out of the pages. The heart in the spirit was colored red, although he missed it on a few pages, but geez, there were 324 copies of this made. That’s some serious effort, and that’s some serious dedication to your craft. Add that to the fact that the story is haunting and incredibly well done and you have a great comic. It’s $1.50, no website but you can send him money at: P.O. Box 106 Danville, OH 43014.
