Fighting cancer isn't just a struggle of the body. It's also afight with the heart, and the soul, and the spirit. The non-profit organizationElizabeth's Canvas has been helping with that struggle by providing cancerpatients, survivors, and their family members with art, photography, dance, andwriting classes, at no charge, so that they can better cope with their symptomsand improve their well-being. Elizabeth's Canvas classes are offeredinside and outside hospitals, and are grounded in the belief that the creativeprocess can strengthen the spirit and empower the mind. Now, Elizabeth's Canvas, IDW Publishing, and Blastoff have cometogether to create this graphic novel, in which comic creators from across theindustry interview the people behind the struggle with cancer - thepatients, the nurses, the survivors, the researchers - and tell theirstories - tales of defiance, perseverance, dedication, and triumph. All proceeds from the sale of the graphic novel will go to further fund andgrow Elizabeth's Canvas' efforts.
