TKO Shorts #5

Part of TKO Studios' affordable short-form lineup, Hand Me Down is a 2021 standalone story written by Alex Paknadel with art and color by Jen Hickman. The cover draws you in immediately — a woman reaches toward a man's face in a moment charged with tension or tenderness, while a mysterious silhouetted figure looms in the warm, patterned background between them, hinting at something darker beneath the surface. Hickman's cool blue palette against that burning orange backdrop gives the whole image a stylish, atmospheric pull that makes this $2.99 single a compelling pick.
