Description
Tell Them of Us is a comic anthology that explores the last recorded voices of human civilization, witnessed through the lens of an alien crew discovering a hastily assembled digital archive of our memories: our attempt, as a species, at both legacy and warning, created in the face of oblivion.
About the Anthology
In the introductory story of Tell Them of Us, an alien crew stumbles upon a time capsule containing the recorded experiences of humanity before, during, and after a complex but self-inflicted calamity. These collected experiences are tales of triumphs, struggles, hopes, and harsh realities that define the human condition.
In contrast to so many post-apocalypse stories where a portion of humanity survives to learn from our mistakes, this book poses an important question: what would we do, and who would we choose to be, if the world was ending and destruction was certain? What is our legacy? How would we wish to be remembered, knowing this was our opportunity to save something of who we were? What do we truly leave behind?
These stories imaginatively answer that question, and serve as both bittersweet requiem and clarion call for readers to consider a better future in the here and now.
