When tradition demanded that only a son of the tribe leader can succeed him, a determined little girl put all her faith in a fairytale that could make her the next chief.
At 172 pages, "Heart of A Colt" was my first graphic novel. The project was started and completed in 2011. The story is simple and the writing even simpler, but the subject matter(s) may not be comfortable for some readers (child endangerment, implied slavery/sacrifice, subconscious death wish, blood, etc.). You can buy the print-on-demand version at IndyPlanet (the amazon version is larger and needed white border padding to fit their size), which includes a few pages of notes on Oracle Bone Script shown in the story. Thank you.
