Strangers in Paradise #1

This Italian edition from Castelvecchi brings Terry Moore's beloved series to a new audience, with cover art by Moore himself setting a quietly poignant tone: a golden-haired young woman sits alone on a snow-dusted park bench, head bowed, while white doves swirl around her and sheets of music scatter across the wintry ground beneath a glowing lamppost. There's a melancholy beauty to the image — the fluttering birds and drifting pages suggesting both release and loss — that perfectly captures the emotional register of the story within, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do." For readers discovering Strangers in Paradise through this 1998 Italian printing, it's a genuinely moving entry point into one of comics' most heartfelt series.
