Heartbreakers #2

The second chapter of Dark Horse's Heartbreakers miniseries arrives with a cover by Paul Chadwick that's equal parts pulp romance and sci-fi intrigue — a heavily tattooed woman locked in a close embrace with a scarred, wild-haired man, while a curly-haired woman catches them in the act through a doorway, framed in a heart-shaped vignette. The cover tagline "At Long Last… Love!" and the banner promising "Thrilling Tales of Romance and Gunplay" perfectly capture the book's playful blend of action and melodrama. With writing and art by Anina Bennett and Paul Guinan and colors by Pamela Rambo, this 1996 series wears its genre-mashing heart — tattooed and all — right on its sleeve.
