True Story Swear to God #4

Tom Beland's autobiographical romance series takes a humorously self-deprecating turn on this cover, depicting a skull-faced figure in a bright green floral shirt engulfed in dramatic orange and yellow flames — a wonderfully absurd visual metaphor for the chaos of real-life love. The stark purple background makes those flames pop with real energy, and the deadpan expression on the skeletal face sells the joke perfectly. If you've been following this "true story of a real life romance," issue #4 promises Beland's signature blend of heartfelt honesty and sharp comic sensibility.
