Weird Love #19
In "The Brainless Type!", wrestler Mabel and newspaper reporter Wilfred navigate a surprisingly tender romance that takes a turn when Mabel realizes she needs more than just kindness in a partner—she craves strength, like her father’s. But when her dad confesses he was never a fighter, just a man who lost every bout, Mabel reevaluates what strength truly means. Dan Zolnerowich handles both art and inks with a distinct, expressive style, while Ben Oda’s lettering keeps the tone sharp and intimate. The cover by Fred Kida captures the moment with a striking, melancholic flair.
