GOTH: YOUNG LOVERS AT WAR

Writer/Letterer: Paul Allor
Artist: Seth Adams
Colorist: Josh Jensen
Editor: Claire Napier

When a young Visigoth warrior named Dolphus finds himself spurned by his lover, Gerda, he throws himself into battle, seeking an honorable death that never seems to come.

As desperation takes hold, Gerda works to save him... preferably in the most painful way possible.

It's the third-century CE, and love... love will tear them apart. For the first time.

”Here, to be goth is to embrace the inevitability of death and its function in our lives. Death is everywhere – at the edge of every blade and in every furtive glance across a candle-lit tent. It hides between the trees by night and splashes against the muddy earth. To be goth is to revel in the melodrama of ill-fated romance and lovers doomed to their fates...this issue did my goth heart good to see.”
-- Magen Cubed, Women Write About Comics

A slick, brutal one-shot, and the first in an absurdly ambitious series (yet to be realized), tracking the history of Goths down through the ages.
