American Virgin, Volume 1: Head by Steven T. Seagle
3.0
So what do you do when your sexual status is so wrapped up in your identity that you make money off it? And what do you do when those whom you think agree with you, don't? Steven T. Seagle explores this in the first collected volume of his comic, American Virgin.
Adam Chamberlain is the twenty-one year-old who is the spokesperson for a US virginity movement. A born-again Christian, he tours the US asking teens to take the abstinence pledge. Good looking and well spoken, he has become a celebrity.
But then his fiancee Cassandra, the woman he has been saving himself for, is killed on her Peace Corps mission in Mozambique. In the midst of a crisis of faith, Adam heads to Africa with his step-sister, and family black-sheep, Cyndie. There he discovers that that Cassandra may not of been the young woman he thought she was and their relationship may have been on the rocks.
And interesting look at how a shock can shake a belief system down to the corp and cause someone to look at everything they hold dear.
