Empty Love Stories (2nd series)

    (Funny Valentine, 1998)
™ and © Funny Valentine

This black-and-white title from Funny Valentine Press parodies the classic romance comics of the forties and fifties with contemporary spins like “Operation: Love”—a tale of office romance between American spies; “He Was a Stand-Up Comedian”—a story in which the girl plays second fiddle to the act; and “Apocalove”—a yarn about love in the wake of nuclear devastation. But Empty Love Stories is more than just parody after parody: it’s also a scathing bit of commentary on the unfulfilling relationships of the 1990s—fun on all fronts!
