...comic book art has become a thriving job field and an exciting new playground for up-and-coming artists and designers worldwide. Comic book writers are gradually receiving the recognition and legitimacy they deserve as excellent storytellers. The comic book medium has also taken great strides in the social realm, gaining credibility as a vessel for the communication and exploration of important social issues. In recent years many weighty topics, including AIDS and racism have found expression through its pages.

Yet the field is booming because millions of Americans swear these therapies have given them relief where conventional medicine has failed them. Indeed, our skeptical journalists found six pioneers, in therapies ranging from guided imagery to visceral manipulation...
