☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Female of the Species!", Cynthia Gray takes a job at an advertising agency, crafting a carefully curated image of domestic perfection to win over Ted. As their relationship deepens and they marry, the weight of her performance begins to crack the facade—until she finally confesses she’s no good at cooking or cleaning, only to be met with surprising honesty. A quiet, character-driven moment from a 2015 IDW issue, the story explores authenticity in love with a touch of vintage charm, illustrated in the classic style of John Buscema, whose dynamic cover pencils and inks capture the era’s flair.
In "Breakdown," June, Mr. Little’s private secretary, finds herself thrust into power after her boss suffers a nervous breakdown following his wife’s death. With the company in her hands, she pushes her own agenda—only to realize too late how badly her choices have hurt it. When Mr. Little returns home, June orchestrates a shocking fake suicide attempt to keep him confined, unaware that her boyfriend, Dr. Ben Carr, is the one who’ll ultimately see through her plan. The consequences are immediate and irreversible.
