Alberta Comics: Love

An uplifting celebration of the joy that love in all its unique, quirky and diverse dimensions can bring us.

Alberta Comics Love features 50 original short comic stories told by Albertan storytellers. From romance to comedy, memoir to science fiction.

A group of sparrows, tired from their flight, take refuge inside a heart-shaped hole. A tree spirit proves itself to be muse, mentor and best friend. Two young nuns laboriously write, hide, then destroy love letters to each other.

In this second volume of comics by Alberta creators, love wins the day, in all kinds of ways.

Once again, no genre or style is off the table. As different as Greek gods are from turkey vultures, whether you’re reading a tale that features a shape-shifting werewolf demon, or two red blood cells traveling through the cardiovascular system, we can guarantee many, many moments of tender joy.

Edited by Alexander Finbow, Shea Proulx, Emily Pomeroy & Hartley Rose.
