Love in Tights

    (Slave Labor, 1998)
™ and © 1998 J. Torres

Super-hero action and romance—two great concepts that go great together. And in the short stories contained in this title by a variety of talented indie artists and writers, both get equal time. In one story, a heroine uses her superhuman speed to get herself and her apartment ready before her date shows up. In another tale a young woman fantasizes about meeting a heroic adventurer, and then finds herself mixed up in an actual robbery that demands his presence. Will her dreams come true? And in still another story, a young couple runs into a gang of hoodlums; can one protect the other and still keep their secret identity as a super-hero safe?

Such stories, and even a few simple one-page shorts, are the focus of this lighthearted, original, and often humorous series. Talents include J. Torres, John Kovalic, and others. Published by SLG in black-and-white.
