Comics Will Break Your Heart is a sweet; funny contemporary teen romance for the inner geek in all of us from graphic novelist Faith Erin Hicks. Miriam's family should be rich. After all; her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing; and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either. How can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads? As if she didn't have enough to worry about; Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy shows up in town . . . and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's grandfather; and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune. In her endearing debut novel; cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks pens a sensitive and funny Romeo and Juliet tale about modern romance; geek royalty; and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past (Spoiler Alert: love).
