Vintage Haspiel for Aids awareness
‘Celia Learns To Protect Her Baby’ is a minicomic that was published in 1997 by the University Of Washington Novela Health Education bureau, which specialises in bilingual awareness publications .
It was published as a two-language flip book, with an English and a Spanish version. The story was written by Olga Sanchez and Tom Furtwangler, with art by Dean Haspiel. I like the way Dean succeeds in emulating the typical photonovela style the story seems to refer to.
This book is reproduced here with kind permission of the writer and artist. A full bibliographic note is available at the Michigan State University Comic Art Collection Website.
