Angel Love is a whimsical, funny, real look at the trials and troubles of a young woman artist struggling to make it in the big city. A sophisticated 'Archie for the 80's,' Angel Love deals with contemporary issues such as drugs, abortion and relationships. Now for a glimpse into this 'hot' new maxi-series: Angel's first love is art and you can catch her practically any day of the week on a Central Park bench with sketch book in hand and roller skates on foot. But like most aspiring artists, Angel must supplement her income, and so she waitresses. Three nights a week, she skates around the 'Balloon' restaurant - a trendy, yuppie, 'beautiful people' hang-out. And when Angel's not working...? Well, there's lots to occupy her - like trying to help her roommate Wendy 'cope' with the trauma of cockroaches, or trying to deal with her new boyfriend's 'problem,' or trying to find that romantic nirvana where you're neither the 'dumpee' nor the 'dumpor.' Angel Love, a special eight-issue limited series, is written and illustrated by Barbara Slate, creator of Ms. Liz, greeting card character supreme. Slate has been developing Angel Love for over two years, finding the perfect blend of humor, whimsy and fantasy in real-life situations that brings out the hero in us all! Cover price $0.75.

Story and art by Peter Hoey and Maria Hoey. Cover by Peter Hoey.

What separates us from animals? What connects us? Award-winning cartoonists Peter and Maria Hoey probe these mysteries across six surreal and interconnected stories.

After tremendous acclaim for their series Coin-Op Comics, two brilliant creators present their first graphic novel: a menagerie of wild tales. Pushing the boundaries of their dazzling and unique narrative style, Animal Stories weaves together six short stories exploring the mysterious relationships between humans and other animals.

A girl who keeps pigeons starts receiving messages from a new bird in her flock. A ship's crew rescues a dog, only to find far stranger things in the sea around them. A reincarnated cat with criminal intentions, a parrot who leads a revolution, and a squirrel who tempts a woman in a beautiful garden glade.

Drawing inspiration from Aesop's Fables, film noir, and the Old Testament, Peter and Maria Hoey apply their singular and sophisticated visual storytelling to create a new set of modern animal tales for modern times.
