Ed & Red's Comic Strip #2

In "Painting the Roses Red," Liana K. spins a whimsical, surreal dream sequence where she steps into a twisted Alice in Wonderland world, with Ed the Sock as a shifting cast of Carrollian figures—from the White Rabbit to the Queen of Hearts. Rendered in a singular, all-artist vision by Fernando Granea, the story unfolds in a vivid, dreamlike palette, blending absurdity and quiet melancholy. The cover by Sean Ward captures the story’s playful unease with a striking, off-kilter portrait of Ed the Sock in a red dress, standing beneath a giant, bleeding rose.
