Twisted Romance Volume 1 cover

This collection features four unique stories that explore love, desire, and unexpected connections, showcasing the creativity of various talented artists. Twisted Romance Volume 1 delivers a rich experience.

In Twisted Romance Volume 1, readers are treated to a captivating collection of four distinct stories, each exploring the themes of love and desire through the lens of talented comic artists and writers. The journey begins with 'Old Flames,' where a demon navigates the vibrant disco scene of 1978 New York, illustrated by Katie Skelly. This tale sets the stage for a unique blend of supernatural and romantic elements, drawing readers into a world where love knows no bounds.

Next, 'Twinkle & The Star' introduces us to a curvy photographer's assistant who finds herself enamored with someone seemingly out of reach. With the artistry of Alejandra Gutiérrez, this story highlights the complexities and vulnerabilities of unrequited love, showcasing the emotional depth that can arise from unexpected connections.

As the collection progresses, readers encounter a space fleet captain who captures an infuriating pirate in 'Invincible Heart,' illustrated by Carla Speed McNeil, and a princess who elopes with a dragon in 'Treasured,' drawn by Trungles. These diverse narratives are complemented by steamy prose romance stories from writers like Magen Cubed and Vita Ayala, along with additional comic shorts that further explore the multifaceted nature of love. Twisted Romance Volume 1 ultimately invites readers to reflect on the myriad ways love can manifest in our lives.
