Scheherazade: Comics About Love, Treachery, Mothers & Monsters

From 2004 onward, Soft Skull Press released a single-issue comic titled Scheherazade: Comics About Love, Treachery, Mothers & Monsters, a self-contained anthology of short comics exploring themes of love, betrayal, family, and the monstrous. This slim volume gathers work from a range of contributors, using the frame of the classic storyteller to weave together diverse, emotionally charged tales. It stands as a distinctive, literary-minded entry in the alternative-comics landscape of the early 2000s.
