Hardcover, like new condition. Introduction by Stan Lee From the back cover: "The stories and art in this volume of whimsy share one important element: All were generously contributed in an effort to aid the victims of terror in northern Israel. Many of these writers and artists are the leading voices of their respective genres - their politics and points of view vary sufficiently to create a stout dialogue. The result of their joining is Balm in Gilead, a delicious anthology of artistic speculations and meditations that, despite theological nuances, move beyond the boudnaries of culture to join in a sungular voice of hope."
