Of Scenes and Stories #[nn]
In "True Love," writer Gary Reed and artist Avido Khahaifa craft a quietly haunting story centered on Manny, who spends each January 19th watching the cemetery, waiting to see who leaves cognac and roses at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe—his own past choices echoing in the silence between the rituals. The emotional weight of memory and regret unfolds in stark, evocative panels, with Khahaifa’s distinctive art lending a dreamlike stillness to a moment suspended in time.
