Mirka Andolfo's Sweet Paprika #6

Mirka Andolfo's romantic fantasy continues in fine form with issue #6 of Sweet Paprika, where the cover — penciled and inked by Andolfo herself — shows a horned, red-skinned demoness in a sharp white blazer pulling a winged, halo-sporting angel man into a close embrace, their mismatched natures practically sparking off the page in swirls of cotton-candy pink. A second demon figure lurks in the background, casting a watchful eye over the pair, adding just the right hint of complication to what's already a delightfully charged encounter. With Mirka Andolfo and Steve Orlando co-writing and Simon Tessuto's warm colors wrapping everything in a rosy glow, this series remains one of Image's most charming and visually inventive romances of 2021.
