The Cigar That Fell in Love with a Pipe #[nn]

A charming and utterly singular graphic novel from SelfMadeHero, written by David Camus and brought to life visually by Nick Abadzis, whose cover art sets the whimsical tone immediately: a reclining figure gazes dreamily upward as smoke curls into a heart shape framing the title — with Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth promised within. The bold red-and-white design is playful yet sophisticated, hinting at a story that blends Hollywood glamour with something genuinely romantic and a little absurd. If you're looking for something that stands apart from the superhero crowd, this 2014 release makes a compelling case for itself right from the cover.
