Aubrey Sitterson (No One Left To Fight, The Worst Dudes) and Jed Dougherty (World's Finest, Harley Quinn) are putting a new spin on romance comics with a new Dark Horse Comics title named Savage Hearts.
Sitterson and Dougherty collaborate with colorist Lovern Kindzierski (The Worst Dudes, Norse Mythology) and letterer Taylor Esposito (No One Left To Fight, Red Sonja) on Savage Hearts, which is described as "equal parts steamy romance, gut-busting comedy, and heart-pounding action."
"I can't imagine restricting myself to a single genre. That's why I'm so fortunate to have the support of Dark Horse Comics and editor Brett Israel, whether it's on fight comic soap operas, raunchy sci-fi mysteries, or sexy jungle romcoms," Sitterson said.
Dougherty added, "I am excited for readers to get their eyes on this barbaric romance! It has muscular action, piquant comedy, simmering emotion, and was a pleasure to draw!"
CBR can exclusively reveal the concept art for Savage Hearts, along with the cover and solicitation below.
