Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children #22

From Piranha Press's offbeat anthology series comes this 1991 installment of Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children, featuring the story "Psychotronic Virgin." Dan Sweetman's cover — rendered in delicate linework against a hypnotic yellow checkerboard background — presents a kneeling figure in white, clutching a rosary and gazing upward through red-and-blue 3D glasses, an image that perfectly captures the series' signature blend of the devotional and the deeply strange. Writer Dave Louapre and artist Dan Sweetman continue their collaboration here, promising the kind of quietly unsettling storytelling that has made this Piranha Press series a genuine standout of its era.
