Love: A Discovery in Comics

Margreet de Heer’s Love: A Discovery in Comics (2019–present, NBM) is a single-issue graphic novel that uses the author’s signature blend of cartooning and accessible non-fiction to explore the science, history, and cultural expressions of love. De Heer, the writer and artist most associated with this work, turns a personal inquiry into a universal, lightly humorous look at how love has been understood and depicted across eras. It’s a compact, thoughtful addition to her “Discovery in Comics” series, offering a friendly primer on a timeless subject.
