COMIC BOOK. _Brought to Light_. Yes, comics can be a serious
educational tool, and can affect young people who have never
before shown an interest in foreign policy. _Brought to Light_
is actually two full-color comic books in one. ``Flashpoint:
The La Penca Bombing Story'' tells the story of the
investigation by journalists Tony Avirgan and Martha Honey
into the La Penca bombing, an attempt by the contras and a
small group of U.S. citizens to assassinate a rival contra
commander and pin the blame on the Sandinistas. ``Shadowplay:
The Secret Team'' is a gruesome portrait of the C.I.A.'s
history of unlawful covert activity. The medium is colorful,
but each book has been carefully researched and authenticated.
$8.95 for the set.

the La Penca bombing. VHS, 75 minutes, $39.95
