Hearts of Africa: A Tales from the Heart Collection

Jill Thompson’s Hearts of Africa: A Tales from the Heart Collection is a single-issue comic published by Slave Labor in 1994, offering a heartfelt, beautifully illustrated journey through African-inspired stories. Thompson, the primary artist and likely the driving creative force, brings her signature warmth and expressive style to this self-contained volume. Though brief, it stands as a poignant example of 1990s independent comics, showcasing Thompson’s talent for blending gentle narrative with lush, emotional artwork.
