Eat Your Heart Out Vol. 1

"Glamorous queer aesthetics, fairy tale optimism, and earthy sincerity uplift this breezy tale" --Publishers Weekly

A modern coming-of-age fashion fairy tale about pursuing your passion.

Blanca is running away. Away from her mother--the overbearing and strict Reina--and her mother's narrow idea of what shape Blanca's life should take. While Reina finds Blanca's dream of pursuing fashion design a wasteful flight of fancy, Blanca sees possibility . . . and she knows if she doesn't leave now, she might never. Of course, following your passion isn't easy, and when Blanca arrives in New York City without a job or a roof over her head, she's rescued by a kindly baker named Emile, who takes her in. With Emile comes his eclectic group of roommates, all living in the same brownstone, who welcome Blanca into their weird, wonderful world. Together, Blanca and her new-found friends come to discover that sometimes, the recipe for making your dreams come true is achievable when you embrace chosen family as the missing ingredient.

Creators and co-writers Terry Blas (Lifetime Passes) and Matty Newton with artist Lydia Anslow come together in this fairy-tale inspired story about following one's dreams!
