1st printing. Written by Fernando Balius. Art and cover by Mario Pellejer. Fernando Balius was a perfectly ordinary, if misunderstood, young adult-until he started hearing voices. In Traces of Madness, Fernando describes what it feels like, both mentally and physically, to lose your grip on reality. His life spins out of control when the voices he hears inside his head, depicted in the narrative as a monster, work to destroy his self-esteem and, worse, urge him to hurt himself. Various psychiatric diagnoses and prescribed medications do more harm than good, prompting Fernando to question whether stifling his voices is truly the right path for him. Throughout his experiences, he finds that his connections with others lend him the strength to survive. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 128 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $19.95.
