Wicked Loving Heathcliff

Published in 1982 by Grosset and Dunlap, Wicked Loving Heathcliff is a single-issue comic that reimagines the brooding antihero of literary fame in a dramatic, romance-infused narrative. While the series has no ongoing run beyond this debut, it stands as a curious artifact of the era’s trend toward adapting classic gothic literature into visual media. The comic is most notable for its striking cover art and its attempt to capture the tempestuous passion of the original story in a condensed, standalone format. Though brief, it offers a unique, comic-book lens on a timeless character.
