Love Letters in the Hand #1

May 1991 · Fantagraphics · 2.25 USD; 2.60 CAD

Love Letters in the Hand #1 (1991) delivers a quietly unsettling slice of 1950s Australian small-town life, where Stan’s arrival stirs unease beneath a surface of simmering tension. Written by Dave Hodson and illustrated by Tony Thorne, with inks by Andy Szikla, the story unfolds with a sharp eye for atmosphere, capturing a community on edge—where desire and suspicion intertwine. The cover, also by Tony Thorne, perfectly mirrors the issue’s brooding mood.
