The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #8

Issue #8 of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl dresses itself up as a pulpy romance novel, complete with a fictional author byline ("Eryca Renzorth"), swooning taglines, and a backdrop of roses and falling petals — it's a wonderfully deadpan genre parody right there on the cover. Front and center, Squirrel Girl (sporting her signature squirrel ears) sits with a phone in hand and a deeply unimpressed expression, while a glamorous blonde couple gazes dreamily at each other behind her. Cover artist Erica Henderson brings the joke home perfectly, capturing both the lush aesthetic of bodice-ripper paperbacks and Doreen's complete, magnificent indifference to the whole romantic spectacle.
