Originally distributed to farm workers as individual Spanish language comic books, this collected edition brings the lives and voices-as well as the challenges and hardships-of these workers to an English-language audience, granting insight into the experiences and lives of the people vital to producing the food we eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a foreword by Julia Alvarez (Afterlife), introduction by Stephen R. Bissette (Swamp Thing) and preface by project founder, nurse Julia Doucet, these inspiring stories grapple with issues encountered by migrant workers everywhere-isolation, separation, depression, substance abuse-even as they celebrate resilience, family, community, and the ability of each storyteller to direct their own healing narrative. The Most Costly Journey is a gripping work that draws together non-fiction cartooning, graphic medicine and ethnography, channeling the skills of health care practitioners, artists and ethnographers into helping alleviate the pain of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEDITED BY: Marek Bennett, Julia Grand Doucet, Andy Kolovos, \u0026amp; Teresa Mares\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFEATURED ARTISTS: Tillie Walden \/ Marek Bennett \/ Kevin Kite \/ Iona Fox \/ Kane Lynch \/ Teppi Zuppo \/ John Carvajal \/ Michael Tonn \/ Angela Boyle \/ Rick Veitch \/ Glynnis Fawkes \/ Greg Giordano \/ Ezra Veitch \/ Shashwat Mishra \/ Michelle Sayles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFOREWORD: Julia Alvarez\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePREFACE: Julia Grand Doucet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION: Stephen R.
