Everything in Color with Stephanie Stalvey & Sarah McCammon!
ABOUT THE BOOK
"In her luminous debut, Stalvey meditates on her separation from fundamentalist Christianity and how she found love despite questioning her faith. " —Publishers Weekly, starred review
Interrogating her own upbringing in an evangelical community, Stephanie Stalvey weaves a story of faith, alienation, romance and acceptance, in this beautifully painted graphic memoir.
Stephanie grew up in an evangelical community where love and obedience were overlapping themes. In this world, sin was inevitable, her body was a temptation, and desire was dangerous. Her own thoughts could not be trusted, because she was only saved if she believed the "right things" about God.
But as she grew, built a life of her own, and fell in love with a young seminarian named James, the complexities of the human experience became impossible to ignore. Was God truly so exacting and judgmental? Could faith exist beyond these rigid borders? Could love be both passionate and pure? Her connection to James—honest, caring and sensual—became a safe place for her worldview to expand. And when their son was born, she understood love in a whole new way… suddenly, everything was sacred, everything was in color.
Through striking prose and beautiful mixed media illustrations, Stalvey takes us on an emotional journey of faith, romance, motherhood and loss. With tenderness and honesty, she unravels the fear and guilt woven into her past, reclaims her sense of self, and shows us how to embrace a love that is healing, transformative, and wholly one's own.

Navy medicine cartoons by Coleman Anderson of Dick Tracy
This series of reproductions of 12 posters used in the Hospital Carps School for WAVES at the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Md., was prepared by Coleman Anderson, PhM2c.
The art section of the Naval Medical School produced during the war thousands of posters, drawings, and lay-outs which aided in the training and education of Navy and Marine Corps personnel. This particular series emphasizes to students the necessity for being ever vigilant while administering medicines.
Coleman Anderson is now back in his prewar billet in Chicago, With Chester Gould, he is thinking up and drawing situations for Dick Tracy to get in and out of. More Prunefaces, Flattops, Gravel Gerties, Itchys, and B. O. Plentys will be born as villains in Tracy's never ending fight to prove that crime does not pay.
