Synopsis

Loosely based on scenes culled from exploitation and made-for-TV morality plays from the late 70's and early 80's, A LAST CRY FOR HELP is a series of poignant vignettes representing teenage despair and depravity. Familiar scenarios include a beach party, drunk driving, young nurses, and slumber party massacres. After over 10 years making popular mini-comics, A LAST CRY FOR HELP marks Dave Kiersh's first solo graphic novel.
