Heartthrobs #1-Very Fine (7.5 – 9) Cover Art By Bruce Timm

A 4-issue Vertigo miniseries explores modern romance, written and drawn by some of the finest talent in comics. In "The Princess and the Frog" (written and illustrated by Brian Bolland), a beautiful princess kisses an ugly frog, with unexpected results; "Diagnosis" (written by Steven T. Seagle and illustrated by Tim Sale) teaches what happens when the little voice in your head starts whispering fatal plans about your wedding day; and in "Genes and a T-Shirt" (written by Robert Rodi, with art by Phil Jimenez), a young man tries to genetically rewrite the rules of attraction, and learns that there's more to love than libido.
