A Tract FOR Inmates

COMIX35 has teamed up with Crosswind Comics to produce a special 7-page, black & white mini-comic titled "Heart of Stone" based on the life of Bill Corum, an ex-offender who currently works in prisons. The artwork is by professional Frank Fosco, a Christian comics veteran.

This first printed mini-comic serves as a guide (size and format) for selected inmates to produce their own "Personal Testimony Comics" as outlined below.

All chaplains and inmates are eligible to receive a free sample of this first printed mini-comic by postal mail. Please send your request to us by postal mail or electronically. (Chaplains: If you send your request via e-mail, please be sure to identify yourself as a Chaplain and include the name and address of the prison where you work.)

After receiving and reviewing the sample, chaplains may request up to 100 additional free copies of the tract for distribution within their prison or local community (Comics are in packets of 25 copies each). Copies of these free 25-packs of comics are limited, so please submit your requests early, if you are interested.

If you are not a chaplain or inmate and you would like to receive one free sample mini-comic, please send a stamped, self-addressed #10 envelope to our postal address below.

You can also purchase the 25-packs of tracts.


Tracts BY Inmates, FOR Inmates

As part of this project, Christian inmates have an opportunity to create a 7-page mini-comic of their own personal testimony to reach their fellow inmates and at-risk youth who are in danger of ending up in prisons.

Chaplains are invited to recommend Christian inmates and submit examples of their drawing and storytelling abilities either by postal mail or electronically. (Other prison ministry workers or family members may also help identify Christian inmates who are good artists and storytellers, but inmate submissions accompanied by a recommendation letter from a chaplain will receive first consideration.)

Christian comics professionals will review all inmate samples and recommendations. If an inmate is selected, one or more volunteer comics consultants may offer advice and instruction on producing or refining that inmate’s personal testimony as a 7-page mini-comic similar to the Bill Corum "Heart of Stone" comic as described above. Arrangements may be made with the chaplain for a volunteer comics consultant to meet with selected inmates in-person, when and where possible, or the inmate may be assisted via correspondence.

Selected inmates will produce their finished comic pages in pencil. A Christian comics professional will ink and letter the comic to prepare it for reproduction. COMIX35 will print the finished mini-comics.

The selected inmates will receive at least 1 copy of their printed mini-comic (more if their prison rules permit it) and a special Christian Comics Collection containing 1 copy each of 12 different Christian comic books and graphic novels. The Collection may include the following comics, although some substitutions may be made, depending on availability of these comics at the time the collection is awarded:

  • Manga Messiah
  • Shelter of Wings
  • Sadhu Sundar Singh
  • Revival Among the Zulus
  • Amazing True Life Stories
  • Amazing Gospel
  • Behold 3-D
  • Eternidad
  • PowerMark Series 1
  • Hairy Polarity Sorcery Satire
  • Christian Comics 2005
  • ICCC2

Upon request, the recommending chaplain may receive up to 2000 copies of the printed mini-comic for distribution within their prison or the local community.

Additional copies of the selected inmates' mini-comics may be distributed in prisons across the US, to families of prisoners, and/or to at-risk youth, through partnering ministries.
