Biology does not make a man a father nor a woman a mother. We are what we do. That's the underlying theme of the twelve short stories that comprise the graphic story album Another Chance to Get It Right. Author Andrew Vachss places you on a battlefield in Africa, your only living companion a boy patiently waiting to be killed; on the roof of an old tenement building, strapped into a renovated packing crate that's flying two children across the cosmos; within the courtroom nightmare of an abused little girl; and once again on the tightrope between adolescence and adulthood. And after all the stories are told, he asks you to remember what children are: another chance for our flawed species. Another chance to get it right.
